[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Depends on the high school. Often it isn't clear how far back the scattergram data goes. [/quote]

Does your school not show the bar graphs by year? Which MCPS school?[/quote]

It shows the bar graphs by year, and those go back to 2018, but if you add all those acceptances (for highly selective schools) up, there are far fewer than what I see on the scatterplot. Conversely, there are far more rejections on the bar graph than on the scatterplot. I am wondering if they included some older acceptances and to kind of fill out the plot and pared rejections to keep it legible? It just doesn't add up. And, I know that pre '21 data isn't very helpful, but pre '17 data is really useless! [/quote]

The bar graph only shows acceptances and non-acceptances, which isn’t necessarily rejection and often isn’t. You may see decision unknown on scatterplot - like if kid withdrew application after being accepted ED or EA or was waitlisted into summer (that’s a lot of kids) and hence high school doesn’t have that info of final outcome for that application.
