[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't understand Naviance even after spending some time with it. What do people do with it? The costs are outdated and so are the deadlines/dates.

For a most selective college, the scattergrams are so crowded in the upper right quadrant with multiple symbols - even if you deselect all but the acceptances - what does it tell you? The data says "from 2020" so I assume it is from the class prior?

There is also a link to similar colleges, where thea list of 10 colleges with the last 10 years of data on acceptances (I assume specific to your HS) is shown - I find that more valuable than the scattergrams.[/quote]
We use them for the scattergrams and for the # applied/# accepted each year.

If you are looking at a highly selective college with a crowded upper right quadrant, and they're a variety of denials, acceptances, maybe some waitlists, that alone tells you something, that the college is a reach.

Also note where your student's little blue person is in relation to the result points, are they surrounded by green, or red, or a mix.

[b]One issue is that all bets are off with test optional.  I don't even know how that would be depicted in a scattergram, but this year is crazy enough so far that being surrounded by green checks in the scattergram doesn't mean the student will get in, as they may be bumped by students with good grades but who did not submit scores.  In other words, just plain lower chances.[/quote][/b]

+2 At multiple schools, my DC is in a sea of green dots without a single WL or rejection anywhere nearby. Guess what? These schools gave my DC 5 deferrals and one rejection this year. [/quote]

Did your DC apply test optional? My kid submitted scores and has been accepted at all of her schools so far, and has been very much inline with what Naviance had shown.[/quote]
