Short answer
Not completely. The checklist covers a commonly required document—a secondary-school transcript—but it does not establish that every applicant needs the same documents.
EducationUSA advises checking the specific requirements on each institution’s international admissions website. It also states that an original transcript or certified copy sent by the applicant’s secondary or high school is generally required for each institution.
Which document does it cover?
The checklist should include the following item:
- Secondary-school transcript: EducationUSA says an original transcript or certified copy sent by the secondary or high school is generally required for each institution.
This is a general statement, not confirmation that every institution handles the transcript in exactly the same way.
How should an applicant check the remaining requirements?
For each institution under consideration, the applicant should:
- Visit that institution’s international admissions website.
- Review its specific application or document requirements.
- Compare those requirements with the documents already listed on the checklist.
- Record any additional document or submission instruction stated by the institution.
This process makes the checklist a starting point rather than the final document list.
What still needs individual confirmation?
The applicant must confirm:
- The exact document requirements of each institution.
- Whether the institution requires an original transcript or a certified copy.
- How the transcript must be sent.
- Whether the institution lists any additional application documents.
- Whether the available materials match the instructions on that institution’s website.
The checklist therefore offers a useful general starting point, but it cannot replace institution-specific verification.
