[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How much confidence did you/DCs put in Naviance?  I know it's just a tool and I don't want to rely on the information too much but I also don't want to stress unnecessarily.  If your family made choices based on the data, did it work out for DCs?  Any cautionary tales to share?[/quote]

For the schools where there is quite a bit of activity (in state schools mainly), we found Naviance to be very helpful.  This is important as those stats vary from HS to HS and the gross stats from the university are not as helpful.   For the ones where only a handful apply - there isn't enough data, but in FCPS you can go into the guidance department and they can show you the stats for the whole county and that can give you and idea, for the high end elite the gross stats from the college/university are more helpful.

I agree that you have to factor in a bump for senior year if your child is taking more APs.

We also found Naviance to be helpful in the initial search.  Look at one school- and it gives you other the other common schools that other students applied to the that applied to the first school.  The short paragraph describing the school were also helpful.
