[quote=Anonymous]General word of caution. These pages exclude not just those who do not share their college decisions for reasons like humility, solidarity with their friends who don't know their outcomes yet, etc. etc., but also those who haven't decided yet among the multiple options they have on the table. My DS, who graduated last year, is aware of at least 2 kids from his high school who are trying to decide between different colleges (including the T10 college DS goes to, which is how he knows about them as they are quizzing him about the college), who are not on the Instagram page of their school.

This also means many of those not (yet) on these pages are the ones who have the most no. of options after RD. The pages will thus be much more informative in May than they are now.

Even that is a bit dicey as some high schools, and senior classes, are much more likely to share their results than others. Apparently (according to DS) it's a function of the "class vibe" or culture (peer effect) how many decide to share, and something as idiosyncratic as how proactive and diligent the admins of the page in a particular year are. Because of all these random noises, any data from instagram pages for any school should probably be averaged for multiple years for any meaningful info on how well a school does in college admissions.
