Hi guys,
Finally I got the WES ECA report. This is quite an interesting journey (especially the timeline) so I would like to share with you guys, and also ask for some clarifications.
Outcome: Master's degree
Credential: Master in Economics of Banking and Finance.
Recognition: Joint degree between an institution in Vietnam and ESCP Europe in Paris.
Studied in Vietnam.
Total time taken from application submitted to final report:
2.5 months, with details as follows:
- 13/11: Application submitted
- 23/11: Transcript sent
- 28/11: Transcript delivered
- 5/12: "We are processing a new package"
- 13/12: "We are analyzing and evaluating documents"
- From 1/1 to 20/2: A lot of calls and emails from me asking why the review took so long, but I was only given very generic and automated answers.
- 18/2: Also applied for ICES as I felt it was taking so long and the outcome might not be as desired
- 21/2: Send DMs via WES Facebook and Twitter fanpage
- 24/2 (9am): They replied via Twitter, stating that they will "escalate the problem to the proper department".
- 24/2 (2pm): They replied via Facebook, stating "Your evaluation scheduled for completion on 3/20/2020"
- 24/2 (4pm): status "Completed" (electronic copy available for download)
Yes you heard me right. After a long wait from "We are analyzing and evaluating your documents", suddenly it changed to "Complete" with no steps in between (and also no second verification needed).
Would you guys please help me clarify the following points:
- On the electronic report, there is no stamp. Is that normal, and I can use it to submit for EE now?
- The certificate number to input in EE profile is the one ending with "IMM" right?
- My name on certificate is NGUYEN MINH MAN (last name: NGUYEN, First name: MAN; Middle name MINH), but on the report it is "NGUYEN, Man Minh". Is that alright?
- My degree is a joint degree between a Vietnamese institution and ECSP Europe in Paris. The "country" on the report is France, but I studied in Vietnam, is that ok? In the Education section in EE profile, which location should I input, Vietnam or France?
Thank you so much for your help. Good luck on your journey, guys!
