I’m an internationally educated applicant applying to JD program (not an LLM because I also earned a bachelor’s degree in the United States).

LSAC is requiring me to submit my foreign university transcripts for evaluation through its own international credential process.

My situation is that I already had my foreign credentials evaluated by WES several years ago when I was applying to a U.S. university.

However, LSAC now does not accept WES evaluations and requires original transcripts sent according to its own procedures.

The problem is that my former medical university in Georgia (the country) will issue official transcripts and supporting documents, but they do not mail documents directly to third parties.

LSAC, on the other hand, appears to require the institution itself to send the documents in a sealed envelope.

Has anyone dealt with a similar situation involving a university in Eastern Europe or another country where schools do not directly mail records?

Would LSAC accept documents if the university prepared and sealed them, and I arranged courier pickup from the university? Alternatively, are there any other options when the institution will issue the documents but will not handle the mailing process itself?

Any advice or experiences would be greatly appreciated.
