Get the Transcript – June is College List-Building Month

It’s finally summer. The alarm clocks are off, the school lunch-making grind is over, and your kid has officially entered full summer mode—which probably involves snacks, screens, and sleeping in.

But if you’re a parent of a high school student, I’m asking you to do one important thing before you check out completely:

📄 Get your teen’s transcript.

I know, I know. You’re thinking: “It’s summer. Can’t this wait?”

Nope. Not if you care about your child’s college future.\

Why the Transcript Is So Important (Even Now)

Colleges don’t guess. They evaluate. And the transcript is the first thing they use to do it.

Whether your child is in 9th, 10th, or 11th grade, that document holds the key to:
🔍 Understanding GPA trends
📚 Reviewing course rigor
📈 Identifying strengths (and those pesky weak spots)
🎓 Assessing which schools are realistic—and which might be a stretch

Let’s break it down by grade level:
➡️ 9th Grade Parents: This is the baseline year. Start tracking now.
➡️ 10th Grade Parents: You’ve got one year behind you—start shaping 11th and 12th strategically.
➡️ 11th Grade Parents: This is GO time. Colleges will heavily weigh this year's grades.

The Four Pillars of a Great College List
When we help families build a college list, we don’t wing it. We focus on four key areas:

💰 Cost – Let’s be real. Affordability matters. What can you actually pay? Where can you get merit aid or financial support?
📍 Location – City or rural? East Coast or West? Close to home or ready to fly solo?
🎓 Major – If your child has an idea of what they want to study, let’s prioritize schools that do it well.
💼 Career – What does post-grad life look like? Internships, job placement, alumni networks—these matter.

If your current list doesn’t consider all four, it’s time to reevaluate.

Why June Is the Best Time to Start
Here’s why June is perfect for list-building:
🌞 No school = fewer distractions
🧠 Clear heads = better decision-making
📄 Fresh grades = updated transcripts to review

Most parents wait until September and scramble. You don’t have to be like most parents.
