[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The other thing to remember about Naviance is it's only as good as the information given. What I mean is, if your DC is applying to a school that is excellent, but not as many from your school apply to the N will be smaller and the info will be far less reliable. Eg. If DD wants to apply to Yale and only 7 in the past 5 yrs have applied there from your school because your school typically applies to Harvard Naviance may show Harvard as more likely an Yale as more of a reach even if DD is actually better or equally as qualified for Yale.

Sure, this and other caveats about Naviance are correct, but parents can figure this out for themselves, or the school can provide this guidance along with access.  The issue with Sidwell and Naviance is that it reflects the general view of the college counseling staff that parents are idiots who are all foaming at the mouth for their kids to go to HYP.  This doesn't foster a strong partnership among students, counselors and parents.       [/quote]
