Validating a foreign degree email from Delta
I got an e-mail today asking me to start the process of validating my foreign college degree (I went to college in Canada, eh).
Does anyone know if this is a canned e-mail sent to anyone on airlineapps with a foreign college listed, or did someone actually look at my application and fire off the e-mail?
Exciting to get the e-mail either way...
Thanks!

It's not a canned email, it is actually from Delta. I got one of those back in 2014. Follow the instructions in the email. I ended up using a education attorney in Florida, I think they may have recommended the service in the letter.
It cost a couple of hundred dollars. They sent a copy of the letter directly to Delta and I received a copy. It was a letter evaluating my degree and said it was equivalent to a degree in science from a US 4 year degree program.
I didn't get an invite to interview until 2.5 years later.

Wow sorry to hear that. I can't believe we make people go through nonsense like that for what should be a garden variety transcript request which, if from an established and known school should be more than enough.

I can understand why Delta asks you to have someone independent and knowledgeable in these things review and provide certification to make sure the credentials you have are valid and equal to a US degree.
While it was a pain in the a*** I was happy to do it and pretty excited that someone at Delta had actually looked at my application. I was a little less excited by the 2.5 year wait before I got the interview. Luckily it all turned out well.

A very smart billionaire venture capitalist recently said this (paraphrased):
"Today's college degree's will soon be tomorrow's Taxi medallions."
Good statement about the credential mills (aka colleges) are starting to look like the emperor with no clothes. A degree is not knowledge, nor even a predictor of potential employee value.
Still... needed at Big D. Best of luck.
