In this video, the College Soccer Guy explains what a "pre-read" is in the college soccer recruiting process and why it matters, especially for academically selective schools such as Carnegie Mellon and NYU. A pre-read occurs when a university’s soccer program expresses interest in a player and asks for the athlete’s transcripts and accolades to submit to the admissions office. Admissions then evaluates whether the student is on track to be a viable recruit and possibly an admitted student. The speaker highlights that a pre-read serves as an academic checkpoint, akin to a junior‑year inquiry to an Ivy League school, giving the athlete early feedback on their admission prospects. He concludes with a call‑to‑action, inviting viewers to comment "call" to schedule a consultation for further assistance with college soccer recruitment.
