Ours showed it for Harvard. Since it's 5 year data I don't think people are necessarily identifiable. There were 2-5 admits a year so over 5 years that's about 15 data points.

Our school's scattergrams are in the "new" format, which is intended to show whether each data point was an early decision or a regular decision, but the chart identifies everyone as being RD (seems highly unlikely at HYPS). Has anyone else come across this?

Yes, I noticed the same thing, that everyone is RD. Not sure if it's a mistake or they just posted only RDs.

It will probably take a few years for that new data point to get into the system. The history right now doesn't distinguish it.

In FCPS, if there is not enough information for a particular school, you can go talk to the Career Counselor at the school and they can pull up the data for all of FCPS, which should be large enough.
