[quote=Anonymous]You cannot tell from it which green checks or red  Xs applied test optional. Also, if you apply to a school that hardly anyone applies to, it's not particularly useful. Also, at least in our school, it seems like everything is not entered. I know for sure that we didn't enter Florida State because they didn't require transcripts from the school and I guess no rec. letters either (it's been a few years). So my daughter applied but the school had no idea.

For the OP, in addition to being able to see the scattergrams of which students got in based on GPA and test score and looking over schools that match your criteria, Naviance is also used as a way the high school communicates with the college. You enter into Naviance which schools you want to apply to and request your transcript for those schools. The high school then uploads your transcript to those schools on Naviance. You also request teacher recommendation letters through Naviance, and the teacher uploads their letter to it. And all that information goes to the college through Naviance, along with a school profile and usually a counselor recommendation.

Generally, but not always, you apply to the school with a common application (that can be used for multiple schools). So the college gets your application when you send it and gets the Naviance info. (transcripts, teacher rec., etc.) when the school sends it.

The system is way more complicated than it needs to be. Seriously. I just went through it for a second time and it was only marginally better because I knew exactly what the steps were that I had to take (school gives very little guidance). But there are still a lot of them. And it's a pain waiting for the school to do their part.  [/quote]
