Colby rejects or waitlists most but that’s explained by the lack of ED applications. Could Middlebury have a beef with WJ? Did someone breach their ED agreement years ago? Or just how it shook out and they haven’t liked the candidates? Or maybe lack of hooked applicants?

Are those definitely ED applications? I didn't think they differentiated between RD and ED on that Naviance.

They do differentiate in Naviance, at least at our MCPS high school.

+1 DC is at a magnet and not many kids apply to LACs ED. Most are focused on STEM at large national universities. So, small sample size, but looks like 3 have gotten into Midd ED in the last six years. Two normal high stats, and one very low stats (must have been recruited). Otherwise, normal high stats are mostly waitlisted and some tippy-top stats kids got in RD. But very few attend.

I wouldn’t put too much stock in Naviance stats. My kid's test scores look meh because they only included her psat. She took ACT (35) but mot SAT. ACT doesn't show.

Our school's naviance set up has a separate tab for ACT

Our does as well. You can use the gpa to cross-reference so if you see a low score, check the other tab to see the other test score. That low SAT may have been a one time thing early in high school and then you look under ACT to see they scored a 35 and it makes more sense.

Schools are inconsist with how they handle data. Ours does not show the ACT.

For colleges with few applicants, the ACT sometimes doesn’t show if there aren’t enough data points to protect privacy. Same for SAT, but it more often comes up with ACT because most kids at least took the in school SAT.
