[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Being at a private with only about 90 seniors, I found the small sample size very helpful because - at least for the highly selective schools - I can pretty much figure out who a lot of the applicants are. If, for example, you know the #2 person in the class got waitlisted at Stanford, you can make note of her test scores (and GPA) from that Scattegram and then track her other results to see that she got into Brown and also waitlisted at Harvard. Once you can ID a few kids, it becomes very helpful for getting a broad strokes picture of  your kid's chances based on the last couple of years' worth of admissions decisions.

Quite honestly, seeing the multiple HYPS wait list decisions for last year's #1 student (whose Scattergram everyone could instantly ID because it was the top GPA in the class and he had a perfect ACT) was very powerful in getting my rising senior to take seriously the task of coming up with match and likely schools he would actually be happy to attend. If Mr. #1 wasn't gliding into these schools, it made him fully comprehend that he might not be either.[/quote]

I think this kind of identifiability is why smaller privates don't do Naviance.[/quote]
