Accepted

NICE!!! Congratulations.

Great news. Congratulations !! now help us to get through too. we might end up sharing the same class

Hello People,

It would be really helpful if someone can guide me on this. (IERF). I have sent them a mail but i still have few doubts.
I have Original copies of Provisional Degree Certificate, Each semester's mark sheets and transcript. I have a scanned copy of my degree certificate too. I need a detailed report for BYU.
1. Where do we send them the documents ?
2. What documents are required for the report and do we need to send the original documents ?
3. My transcript does not have the number of hours mentioned in its report. How do we get them the syllabus from university ?
4. Do we ask for the report to be sent to our address or to be reported directly to BYU ?

Please help.

Hi k309,

I can understand your situation. I was also going through the same in September. Before going to your point wise questions, I would say that you need to send Original Degree certificate as they do not consider either Original Provisional Degree Certificate or Scan copies of Degree. I had to send then separately my degree certificate in the second time as I was too scared to send it in the first go. If you do not send the Original they will ask you if you want them to go ahead without it but they will not mention that your degree is evaluated. Said that I will advise to send original degree as well.
Now your questions:
1. Once you have paid the fee, IERF will send you a mail with two attachment. One of the attachment will have the address on it that you need to paste it on your Envelop.
NOTE: Don't forget to ask your courier to take a scan of that page and place it on the top of the packaging they do over the Envelop.

2. They have clearly mentioned in their site which all documents you need to send and/or additional documents depending upon your nationality.
I am an Indian candidate and have sent the below documents in Original
a) All Postgraduate/Undergraduate degree certificate
b) Transcript + each semester mark sheet (although anyone will work)
c) In case, any of your above degrees is not in English language, you need to send them a authenticated English translation.
d) Higher Secondary degrees (Although not required but I didn't want to take risk so send them all)
e) One xerox copies of each Original document you are sending.

3. No# of hour will be calculated by IERF in their evaluation report ( in #NOTE1 section). I believe that will be automatically taken ( along with GPA value) by BYU guys when they will receive their copy of your result.

4. IERF will automatically know once you have mentioned the BYU as the university in IERF application form. They will also send you an Applicant copy of evaluation result along with your original certificates.

Let me know if you need any other help.

hi. Thanks a lot for the detailed information. Just need one small clarification. Which one do we select to get back the documents and which one do we select to report the evaluation to the institution ?

1.Please mail my applicant copy and my original documents (if submitted) to my address.

2.Your official sealed report may either be sent to you or directly to another recipient. Please select below.

Please mail to:

me at the address above
another recipient

I shall chose my own address for the first one and BYU for second one, right ??

Hi k309,

That's Right! Official Report should go to BYU and Applicant copy should be sent to you.

Thanks a lot for your help brother. and wish you all the bes with your applications too !!

& what services did you select ?
165$ for detailed report + 75$ for International Secure mailing + 35$ for domestic next day delivery to institution + 85$ for Turnaround time = 360$

Denied

Since I started in September and had plenty of time, I just used the '165$ for detailed report' and '75$ for International Secure mailing' ( thought it would be risky opting normal postal service).

In your case, you have to spend some more bucks to tradeoff the lack of time.

Sad to know buddy! But don't let this result affect your other applications. Wish you good luck for other results.

Thanks man! I've had some good interviews with other schools so Im still hopeful

Heard there was a big cheating scandal at the university this year involving Indian students.....and now there is a strong bias against Indian students......be careful folks if you go here caus they got strict action against anyone who breaks the code of conduct!

Duh! You can get kicked out of BYU for being caught with a beer in your hand. Cheating at a school like this is just plain stupid! This is a religious institution folks. The emphasis is on producing men and women of 'strong moral character'. When in doubt, "Don't do anything Jesus wouldn't do" - and if the mention of Jesus in a forum post offends you, you're in trouble.

Submitted my application last week on the 15th. Anyone know how long it takes to hear back?

It's about two weeks to get an interview invitation, then a few days after the interview you should hear a verdict. They say it's two weeks after the interview, but it's been averaging 4-5 business days. You should hear something by the first or second week of February.

Got an interview Invite :D. Super excited. Have been waiting for it since december.
