International Transcripts. 34 Countries. Zero Standardization. 🔥

🔥

University admissions office. 2,400 international applicants. Transcripts from 34 different countries.

The challenge: Every country has different grading scales, credit systems, and transcript formats. Converting to US equivalents: Manual nightmare.

Manual process: Credential evaluator spends 20-30 minutes per transcript. Looks up conversion tables. Calculates GPA equivalent. Documents methodology.

Built a transcript standardization system.

Transcript uploaded. System identifies country of origin. Extracts grades and course information. Applies appropriate conversion methodology. Calculates standardized GPA. Generates equivalency report.

Results:

- 2,400 transcripts processed

- 34 different country formats handled

- 89% processed automatically

- 11% flagged for specialist review (unusual institutions or incomplete records)

Credential evaluator now handles exceptions instead of routine conversions.

Processing time per application: 25 minutes → 4 minutes.

Admission decision timeline: 6 weeks → 3 weeks.

What manual conversion is slowing your intake process?
