[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A piece of advice that I would add with regard to Naviance.  Be careful when looking at the test scores as they can be deceiving.  A student may have been accepted to a school based on his/her ACT score, but Naviance will still post the student's SAT score (which may be much lower).  For example, my DD got accepted into a T15 and only submitted her ACT (34); not her SAT.  Her SAT was significantly lower (and would not have been enough for her to have been accepted there).  But Naviance still will have her SAT score and ACT scores posted next year.

Next year, if folks only look at the SAT scores on Naviance for that college (and not the ACT), they are going to think that those low SAT scores (by that college's standards) is all it takes to get into that college.  But, that is not true, because my DD never even submitted the SATs. [/quote]

So true.  My DD took the PSAT and got a mediocre score, so never took the SAT.  Naviance has her  PSAT score as her SAT score.  Her ACT score is much higher.  It would be misleading if you did not know.[/quote]
