[quote=Anonymous]My experience is Naviance was quite accurate. But, this was for schools with large numbers of applicants. What happens is you need to look at scattergrams and not just the 25-75% numbers (or what they call a safety). The scattergrams show you how people with a certain GPA and test scores did on admissions. From that, you can get an idea of the probability of admissions. As an example, at some elite schools, even with near perfect grades and SATs, there were a lot more rejected than accepted (even if you were about the 75%)... But for the schools like Virginia Tech, at DD's school, almost all above 4.0 were admitted. Between 3.8 and 4.0 there was a drop off, and below 3.8, few were admitted. SAT scores did not matter. Similar trends existed, but with different numbers, for UVA, W&M, and JMU. (DD was in the 60-70% number for W&M, the 30% number for UVA, and the 99% number for VT); She was admitted to W&M and VT, chose W&M. [/quote]
