What is an admissions transcript reader?

Admissions Transcript Readers are professionals who evaluate and review academic transcripts and related documents submitted by applicants to educational institutions. Their primary responsibility is to assess the academic qualifications, coursework, grades, and achievements of prospective students to determine eligibility for admission. They play a crucial role in ensuring that admissions decisions are fair and based on standardized criteria. Admissions Transcript Readers must be familiar with different grading systems, school profiles, and sometimes international credentials. They often work closely with admissions counselors and committees to provide input and support throughout the admissions process.
