Macalester requirements in detail
Translation
An English translation of any transcript not in English, included with the copy of the original (International admissions FAQ).
Who may translate
Not restricted; the translation must show the translator's name and position (International admissions FAQ).
Official transcripts
With the school seal and official signature, sent directly by a school official (International admissions FAQ).
Part of high school abroad
Students who were not in US high schools all four years add overseas transcripts, translated into English if necessary (International admissions FAQ).
Exam systems
A-level students submit final O, AS and A results, or predicted scores if finals are not ready; O levels alone are not considered (International admissions FAQ).
A translation that says who translated it
Macalester's FAQ sets one condition on the translation: it must show the name and position of the person who translated the document, and it travels with the copy of the original transcript (International admissions FAQ).
That condition is met by a translation whose certificate identifies the translator and their role.
When you order, make sure the signed certificate states who translated the document and in what capacity, and send it together with the copy of the original.
Applicants who studied in more than one country
If you did not spend all four years of high school in the US, Macalester needs your overseas transcripts too, translated into English if necessary, along with your current US transcript; an admission officer works with the international team to read that curriculum in context (International admissions FAQ).
Students from exam-based systems submit final O, AS and A level results, or predicted scores when finals are not yet out.

Uploading the translation to Macalester
A school official sends the sealed, signed transcript; include the English translation with the copy of the original (International admissions FAQ).
What we do not do
eVerbary is a translation service, not a credential evaluation service: we do not issue evaluations, US equivalencies or GPA conversions, and we cannot send documents on behalf of the school that issued them.
How to order
- Scan or photograph every page of the document, front and back, including any stamps on the reverse.
- Upload it, choose the language and "certified", and see the price before paying.
- Receive the PDF, usually within 24 hours for one to three pages, and upload it with the copy of the original wherever the institution asks for it.

The international FAQ does not ask for one (International admissions FAQ).
I studied abroad before moving to a US high school. What do I send?

Who sends my transcript?
