[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Any kid can plug anything they want into Parchment. It's a joke. It'd be a REALLY cool resource if high school counselors had kids fill it out accurately, but it's not accurate at all.[/quote]

Yup. Someone on CC made a Parchment profile for their dog, just to prove anyone can put anything on the site.[/quote]

My understanding is the cross-admit data is not based student-submitted data. The cross-admit data comes from the high schools that subscribe to it. High schools that use the service offer their students the option to release that data to them. [/quote]

Yeah and only an estimated 30% of high schools subscribe to it.

There’s no good way to get cross admit numbers without having the actual data, which no one really has.[/quote]

Hard to say how accurate their data is, but it usually seems to have results I would expect for well known schools.  [/quote]

Just because it confirms your personal opinion doesn’t mean it’s accurate.[/quote]

Well, then it is good that I started the sentence with "hard to say how accurate their data is".[/quote]
