[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who said Naviance was a definite predictor of where your kid would get in?[/quote]

No one, however, it is misleading. So just a heads up[/quote]

Grades and test scores gets your application a review, but admission is based on other things.[/quote]

The data is skewed by athletes, URMs, legacies, and other hooked applicants.[/quote]

Or the counseling office not bothering to make sure the numbers are not 5 years old in school acceptance rates!  That might be why so many posters say schools thinks schools are easier to accepted at than reality![/quote]

FCPS parent here.

Are there different version of Naviance? Ours has data points from the previous 3 years in the scattergrams. I believe the supermath numbers say that they are from 2010 and forward. What are you all talking about when you say “old data”?[/quote]

Yes, the scattergrams are from the past 3 years.  Could you please tell me what your version of Naviance says is the national acceptance rate for NYU?  Does it also say that its data is from 2018?  I'd appreciate hearing your feedback.[/quote]

NP. I think it varies based on the High School.  My son is interested in NYU and our Naviance has acceptances for the past three years with an acceptance rate of 35%.  That seems way too high. More in line with the acceptance rate from four years ago based on: https://nyunews.com/2019/03/28/nyu-acceptance-rate-drops-to-16-percent-for-the-class-of-2023/

Can only guess what it will be when he applies next year.

The 35% number is from the class accepted in 2012 which graduated in 2016  ... The number acceptance number has steadily gone down over the last 7 classes.  I wonder if other acceptance rates are that old on Naviance?[/quote]

Why do you say the 35% is from 2012?  My DC's Naviance gives 35% and says data is from the last three years.  Is there some source that says the rate is different than this?[/quote]

It’s already been posted multiple times. Do a simple google search. https://nyunews.com/2019/03/28/nyu-acceptance-rate-drops-to-16-percent-for-the-class-of-2023/
