[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unfortunately this year has skewed a lot of the data - TO is pushing the middle 50% scores upward. My kid had a 31 and that was well within range of a lot of competitive schools based on data from a few years ago. But that data changed wildly and he wound up going TO at a number of those same schools. Naviance is a great tool but it relies on self-submitted data, which is ultimately not super reliable given that these are HS students on their way out the door. Wait until August when the schools themselves update their Common Data Sets. Even then, remember that what's a viable test score for a kid from Oklahoma may be not be viable for a kid from Bethesda.[/quote]

But that kid from Oklahoma may have close to full need. All else being equal, at a need aware school, the almost full pay kid from Bethesda may actually have the advantage. When I look at Naviance at our W school for SLACs beyond the top 15, I often see many kids getting in with below average stats. I have to assume this is the full pay advance. [/quote]
