Wellesley at a glance
Does it accept eVerbary? Yes
Wellesley's first-year application page asks for the transcript "in the original language as well as a translated version" and does not restrict who translates (first-year applicants); a certified translation from a professional service such as eVerbary is that kind of translation.

Wellesley requirements in detail
Translation
The transcript in the original language plus a translated version, if not in English (First-year applicants).
Who may translate
Not stated (First-year applicants).
Marking system
If the school uses a coded transcript, include an explanation of the code and the marking system (First-year applicants).
Certificates
Certified photocopies of all diplomas and government examination certificates, each with an official seal or certification (First-year applicants).
Evaluation
None required for admission (First-year applicants).
Deadlines
Application and financial aid: November 1 (Early Decision I), January 5 (Early Decision II), January 8 (Regular Decision); final transcript July 6 (First-year applicants).
Transfers
Credit for courses at an international institution is evaluated by the registrar after arrival, and granted only after one year at Wellesley (transfer applicants).
Transcript, code key and exam certificates
Wellesley treats the transcript as a certified record of courses and marks for every marking period in all schools of the last four years.
If it is not in English, send it in the original language together with a translated version; if your school uses a coded transcript, add an explanation of the code and the marking system; and if you cannot get a transcript, a certified record of courses with a progress report replaces it (First-year applicants).
Translate the grading legend with the transcript so the explanation is in English too.
Separately, all applicants send certified photocopies of every academic diploma and government examination certificate, such as GCSE and A level certificates, the Indian S.S.C. and H.S.C. or the Kenyan Certificate of Education, and every record must carry an official seal or certification (First-year applicants).
Certificates do not replace the transcript, and each one not in English needs its own translation.
Dates that apply to international applicants
International students, meaning applicants who are not US citizens or permanent residents, follow the first-year calendar (international applicants): applications and financial aid by November 1 for Early Decision I, January 5 for Early Decision II and January 8 for Regular Decision.
Early Decision applicants also send quarter grades by November 16 or January 11, and every admitted student's final transcript is due July 6 (First-year applicants).
Each new transcript not in English needs a new translation, so plan for the quarter, mid-year and final records as well.
Need a certified translation for Wellesley?
$24.95 per page of up to 250 words, certification included, usually within 24 hours for one to three pages. See the price before you pay.
Documents applicants usually translate
- Secondary school transcripts for the last four years
- Explanation of the marking system or transcript code
- Diplomas and government examination certificates
- Quarter, mid-year and final grade reports
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 Wellesley
Your counselor submits the transcript and School Report through the Common App or Coalition App; give the counselor the translated version to submit with the original (First-year applicants). We can send the translation directly to the admissions office by email on request.
Within three to five business days of applying you get access to the Applicant Portal, and Wellesley contacts you later about any further financial aid documents (First-year applicants).
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.
For Wellesley that means we translate your transcripts, marking key and certificates; the certified photocopies with official seals and the School Report come from your school.
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.
Frequently asked questions
What translation does Wellesley ask for?
A translated version of any transcript not in English, sent with the original-language transcript (First-year applicants).
Do my exam certificates need to be translated?
Wellesley asks for certified photocopies of all diplomas and government exam certificates with an official seal (First-year applicants); those not in English need a translation for the committee to read them.
Does Wellesley require a WES evaluation?
No credential evaluation is listed for first-year admission (First-year applicants).
When is the final transcript due?
July 6 for every decision plan (First-year applicants).
Will Wellesley give credit for my university courses abroad?
Possibly, after admission: the registrar evaluates them after you arrive, and credit is granted only after a year at Wellesley (Transfer and Davis Degree applicants).
Will eVerbary convert my grades to a US GPA?
No. The translation reproduces the grades and the grading scale exactly as they appear. A GPA conversion is credential evaluation, which the institution or an evaluation agency does.
