Hi guys,
I need some help regarding WES/ECE evaluations. I'm a final year student of the 5 year Dual Degree program in BITS Pilani. I'll be applying to PhD programs in the US (Fall 2018).
I plan to apply to NYU and CMU and both these programs require me to convert GPA to a 4.0 scale. NYU has stated that it doesn't care which credential service I use but it is most familiar with WES and ECE. I have no idea whether CMU accepts ECE evals as of yet.
My Question is:
1) Do we have to send a copy of the WES/ECE evaluation to the universities as well (send it via post)? Or should I ask them to be delivered to my address itself and attach the evaluation along with the transcripts in the application portal.
2) My name in my passport and my Educational degree is different, will this create a problem ( My name in my Passport is AAA BBB but my transcript has only AAA). Should I get it changed in the transcript before evaluation?
3) Which is more reliable/better for Indian Universities, WES or ECE?
Sorry for the wide range of questions, its just that I haven't been able to find satisfactory answers to these anywhere else.

Anybody else who has experience with evals can also pitch in, I'd be grateful for some insights.
