Dear molt_llest,

The best thing you can do, which would be greatly appreciated by the schools you apply to, is to have your transcript evaluated by a services such as World Evaluation Services or Global Credential Evaluators. Not only will they translate your transcript into English, but will calculate the equivalent US GPA and assess whether your degree is equal to a US bachelor's degree. Depending on what your degree is in, how many credits, etc., it is possible your degree might be equivalent to more or less than a US bachelor's degree.

Regards,
Lisa

Thank you, I didn't know that those type of services exist. Is there any difference between these two?

There are no differences between the two in terms of quality or reputation. You would be fine to pick either one.
