You can search the internet for high school transcripts for homeschoolers anywhere. Yet knowing exactly what colleges want on them is a little less clear. This article describes a transcript as a silent interview that your student provides to potential colleges. I love that analogy. Knowing how important a transcript is, puts things into perspective. Get to know what your child’s college wants to see on a transcript, then work towards that.
Transcripts are the first judgment call for your student by a college. They are what comes first and what decides what comes next. No pressure, right? It truly is worth it to make the best first impression possible on that transcript.
We know it’s a lot of pressure parents to get your child’s transcript right, especially if they are college-bound. Take the pressure off your shoulders, listen to these steps and then help your child take action to make their transcript the best silent interview ever.
