Creating Effective High School Profiles and Transcripts
Whether an academic record is being reviewed by a college admission professional or a scholarship organization, the high school transcript and profile should provide the reviewer with comprehensive, up-to-date, and easy-to-understand academic information about the student. What should you include - or not include - on your school's profile? What is the best way to highlight your school's uniqueness? What information does an admission office wish every high school would clearly outline on a student's transcript? Join us for a lively panel discussion with experienced high school counselors and admissions professionals and learn the ins and outs of creating and updating these essential documents.
