Some Naviance questions

[Anonymous]

We are at a smaller school so sometimes Naviance is not that helpful (too few applicants to show a scattergram).

But here are some questions maybe other parents will know how to answer.

1) Are the GPAs the GPAs the kids had when accepted or at the end of their senior year?

2) I frequently find that there are clearly missing plots. For example, a given school may have 5 applications in 2024, 2023, and 2022 (so 15 total) and five kids total got into the school. The scattergram will only show those who got in. Why would that be?

3) Is there a way to manually input my kid's first SAT score so he can be plotted on the scattergram?

GPAs are from when they graduate

I don’t think you can input the info but that may be adjusted by school

Apparently it varies by school when the final GPAs are entered. Some schools enter the final GPA at graduation. But on college confidential some people are reporting that their high school does things differently.

I have wondered this too OP. I would like to know the stats of those who didn't get in. Sure, they are likely lower. But some may be higher and I want to see that too because that likely tells you that the school truly does do a holistic review.

Yes, some schools have lots of denied (UVA, W&M, etc) but some only show admits (Pitt, for example)

Our Naviance is not accurate, and that seems to be the norm. Ours will show zero ‘25 admits to a school…-and yet graduating seniors are attending!

I think the system requires graduating seniors input their results, and we all know how that goes…I can’t imagine many are contentious about it, especially if they get off the waitlist in be late spring. See ya!

We told our public they were not to include our kids in Naviance.

Why is this? I assume you didn't use the information in Naviance to help your kids' with their decision-making since you aren't offering that to future students?
