Evaluation of Transcripts

[Mshanaghy]

Hi all, I was wondering if someone could help me, I applied to a couple of community colleges for their ADN nursing program. I have completed all my prerequisites with a 3.8GPA, few Bs mainly all As, I also have a teas score of 92.3%. The only thing I'm so worried about is my high school transcripts. I completed high school in Europe 17 years ago and barely passed, both schools require me to get my transcripts evaluated and translated and sent to them. I am in the process but I'm terrified that when they're translated they would be considered a fail in the US as a passing score in Europe was 40% at that time. Do you think this will affect my chances of getting into these schools. Thanks in advance for any info you might have.

What do the counseling departments of the schools say? High school records played no part in me getting accepted to nursing programs, other than the notation on my college transcripts that I was a high school graduate, so I think you may be worrying for no reason.

Thank you so much for your reply. I haven't talked to a counsellor about it yet as it was only brought to my attention this week about the different scores. I just thought I had to only prove that I completed high school, then I read on the evaluation website that they change the scores to the US equivalent. I really hope I'm worrying over nothing, Ive worked so hard to get here.
