[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I finally figured out how to use DC's Naviance account.  Under the "College maps" section, I was able to find "top 20 most popular colleges where our students applied."

For DC's school (Einstein), these are the 10 most popular schools that students apply to (over the last 8 years, I am assuming):
1. Montgomery College
2. UM-college park
3. Towson
4. UMBC
5. Salisbury
6. Frostburg
7. St. Mary's College of Maryland
8. American U.
9. Morgan State
10.  George Mason

The only thing that I found frustrating about this list is that some of the colleges that received a lot of applications from Einstein seniors are not necessarily where they enrolled.  For instance, George Mason has 3 grads attending and is ranked #10, while Catholic U. has 21 grads attending and ranks #12 in terms of applications.  Is there an easy way to find a list of the most popular colleges actually ATTENDED by Einstein grads?

Would anyone like to share stats from your DC's school or tell me more interesting info I can glean from Naviance?[/quote]

[b]What a depressing list, when you consider how a Virginia high school might have UVA, W&M, Virginia Tech, JMU, VCU, Mary Washington, and Christopher Newport in the top 10 along with GMU. [/b] [/quote]

This why we moved from Maryland to Virginia.  Virginia has a much deeper bench of high quality higher education institutions, probably second only to California.  Of course, DD ends up OOS b/c she got a much better deal on financial aid OOS that makes it cheaper to attend OOS than in Virginia. Her only regret was not applying to Tech.  We visited CNU, but she did not like it.
