[quote=Anonymous]I am reposting from other thread bc more relevant here (hope that is okay)

FWIW, our kids got pretty much the same info from their DC private, with the exception of the "unhooked" aspect,. Ours was offered in a different format (including a handbook but then more supplemental materials, and workshops). And, the rejection info was only on naviance, which also included info on ED v RD (I am sure they got that too). I actually liked the way my kid's CCO presented some of this info better: it was GPA bands of where students were admitted and it helped my kid broaden his search list. I would imagine every private school offers this same data, FYI.

I also sort of question what hooks means given their use of "etc." I get taking out athletic recruits and legacy, but are they really excluding minority kids or first gen from the data set? Or what about family members who attend other than parents?

Quickly looking at two schools at which my kid (no hooks) was accepted, his local DMV private did better than Harvard Westlake, though that is obviously anecdotal (and doesn't really diminish the education kids are getting there)... though I feel a little icky for looking up the admits at those schools bc I think this data isn't really for public consumption. I see why our CCO gives everything to the kids on paper: they can't forward it around, lol.[/quote]
