They do. Students and their parents can look at Naviance scattergrams in a meeting with the counselor upon request. IME, the counselors are reluctant to have families look at scattergrams when they think it is too early in the process of a student creating their list, and the counselor will push back against that request. And when they do eventually let you look at them, [b]they will only let you look at a very small number of colleges' scattergrams when[/b] those colleges are on your list. So among other things, the counselors won't let students look at and use scattergrams as a tool to create their list in the first place.[/quote]

This is false. The parent-student meeting can be filled with looking at as many scattergrams as they want. And, the student can go back and meet and look at any other scattergrams they want at any point during the process.

Just my opinion, but so much has changed with COVID, that the scattergrams and any other metrics other than the 2021 CDS is relatively useless. [/quote]

It’s not false, because it was our experience this year with DC’s counselor. Perhaps the counselors are inconsistent, which is a point that seems to have come up as an issue over and over again in these discussions.[/quote]
