[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes it is the best resource available to you. School data is the more relevant data. That said, Naviance does not show rigor. However, rigor is the most important one factor colleges evaluate an applicant's academic readiness. [/quote] It shows rigor to an extent if GPA's are weighted.[/quote] Not really. Schools around us have 0.5 bump for all honors, AP and DE. Other schools bump AP and DE to 1.0, honors 0.5, but then AP precal and APES are weighted the same as AC calc BC and AP Chem. One school calls Multivariable calc "honors" and it gets 0.5, despite being the hardest math level at the school. AO's understand the differences and they can scan a transcript quickly, using the school profile list of courses offered, and detect rigor differences easily. There are numerous videos of AOs at top unis and lacs that show the process. weighted gpa cannot reveal rigor in that way[/quote]
