[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Has something changed in the last 2 years? Because our 2017 TJ grad on the advice of her counselor had one safety - UVA. And you could see on the scattergram that above a certain GPA/SAT combo, every kid got in.

I also see the same pattern on our base school scattergram - again above a certain GPA/SAT, everyone (except one red X) got in.[/quote]
No, I don't think it has changed.  Our school's Naviance shows a clear GPA line - above that line and 1300+ SAT and you are in.  But I would imagine those lines are moving up and to the right.[/quote]
Exactly.  The line in Naviance can move, annually.  The closer one is to the line, the less comforting it should be.  In addition, there is so much that Naviance doesn't show; besides hooks, it doesn't show what school within UVA the student was admitted to -- or not admitted to.  I would not rely solely on Naviance for determining a safety.[/quote]

Fair point, but if you are in NoVA and looking at Naviance data, you'd be hard pressed to find a better data set than what you'll see for UVA, VT, W&M, etc.  Hundreds of data points over the past 3 year years.  You can make some pretty safe predictions.[/quote]
