[quote=Anonymous]In addition to the privacy concern, Naviance also adds to the craziness about grades and test scores over other aspects of the college admissions process. Among a bunch of hyper-competitive parents and teachers at GDS and Sidwell, Naviance could become the focus of the college process and create a more unhealthy pressured environment. No one should be obsessed about raising their SAT scores from 1500 to 1600 or trying to game their GPA from 3.85 to 3.9 at schools with very rigorous curricula. The college admissions counselors have really good perspectives on admission chances given the totality of a student's file, including teacher recommendations, and how the student compares to the other applicants in the class. They just aren't wrong about which schools are potential fits, stretches, and safeties. Anything more specific about admission odds is fiction.[/quote]
