Good question. Op?[/quote]

OP again. The stats also tell me something about DC's chances for college admittance  in the future.  Some of the admit rates from Einstein were actually below the national average.  I'm hoping that some of those applicants knew that they were applying to reaches.  I thought that students with similar stats could get in from anywhere, especially if they have a hook.

I say all of this as a parent of a kid who absolutely loves Einstein and is taking the most challenging classes available.[/quote]

Hi OP. These sort of stats interest me too. I imagine those who aren't interested don't have kids who have gone through the college admissions process yet. I'll noodle around on Naviance when I have some free time and let you know if I come up with anything.

Two tips: you can find 5 year acceptance percentages for your school at a particular college by clicking on "learn more" under "college overlaps" on each college's overview page. This screen also compares the average scores and gpa for accepted students and you can compare that with the averages in the common data set. You'll also see the percentages/scores for the ten most common application overlap schools. You can compare the Einstein-specific acceptance percentages to the nationwide acceptance rate shown on the overview page.

Also check out the "acceptance history" link under the "colleges" tab--a couple down from the map section you were looking at. It has an alphabetical list of all colleges kids from your school have applied to over the past five years with totals shown for applied and enrolled. [/quote]
