College-level transcripts
If you have also attended a college, university or post-secondary school, we will need official transcripts from that school. For any college or university outside the U.S., we also require you to submit a course-by-course evaluation from an educational credentialing service such as WES or FIS.
Once you are admitted, you will also need to provide proof of financial resources in order to qualify for your I-20 for F-1 student visa status.
