Montefiore School of Nursing: Translation Requirements for Documents in Another Language

Sample translation: a Congolese secondary school transcript

This is what an order looks like when it is delivered, with a fictitious student. The PDF starts with the signed certification page, and the translation follows the original line for line: every abbreviation is explained, stamps, seals and signatures are noted in brackets, and the grid stays the same, so an admissions officer or a credential evaluator can match it without guessing.

What to notice

• Two school years in the same grid as the original: every subject, grading period, exam and total, so each grade can be read against its maximum.
• The French rating abbreviations are translated (TB becomes VG, Very good), and every abbreviation is explained in a translator's note at the foot of the same page, including one the original never defines.
• Dates are written the US way (the original's 02/07/2015 is February 7, 2015).
• The photo, seals and signatures are noted in brackets where they appear.

Worth knowing about Montefiore School of Nursing

Montefiore School of Nursing requirements in detail

WES for the high school record, and what WES asks

Montefiore names one evaluator: applicants educated abroad have their high school transcript evaluated by World Education Services and submit the report with the application (how to apply).

Because a high school average of 85 is required when you have no college coursework, translate every year of the transcript and the grading scale.

WES asks for an exact, word-for-word English translation of each document not in English, made by a professional translator such as a certified translation agency.

It does not accept translations by applicants and does not translate documents itself. A certified translation from eVerbary, with a high school diploma and transcripts translated in full, is the kind WES takes.

Who can apply

The program is open to US citizens and permanent residents, who prove their status with a birth certificate, passport, certificate of naturalization or both sides of the green card (How to apply).

Chemistry with a lab is required, from a high school or college transcript, with a grade of C or better.

Documents applicants usually translate

• High school transcripts, every year
• High school diploma or leaving certificate
• Grading scale printed with the transcripts
• College transcripts from abroad, if you studied after high school

What an eVerbary translation includes

• A complete English translation of every page, stamps, seals and handwritten notes included, laid out like the original so each line can be matched.
• Grades exactly as recorded, with the grading scale the document prints. We never convert marks to a US GPA.
• A signed certificate of translation accuracy on letterhead, with our contact details, delivered as a PDF you can upload.
• $24.95 per page of up to 250 words, certification included; 24 hours for one to three pages as standard. Regular clients who need it can get delivery in as little as 30 minutes, on request.

Uploading the translation to Montefiore School of Nursing

• The translation goes to WES with your records; you then submit the WES report with your Montefiore application (How to apply).

• eVerbary delivers a signed PDF; on request we can also email the translation directly to the admissions office.

How to order

1. Scan or photograph every page of the document, front and back, including any stamps on the reverse.
2. Upload it, choose the language and "certified", and see the price before paying.
3. 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.
