[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Short answer is yes, child got accepted to schools that matched her stats and a couple reaches. We looked at Naviance and the Common Data Set mainly. I did find it interesting that when I calculated how many kids were getting in to different colleges (from her high school) the percentages were much lower than what was presented as acceptance rates from those sources.

[b]For example, JMU supposedly had 71% acceptance rate but from her school this year it was only 55%. Also for Virginia Tech it was reportedly 64% but from her school it was only 36%. Even VCU which was supposedly 86% acceptance rate only accepted 64% of the kids who applied from her school. [/b]

I’d be really interested to know whether it was because a lot of kids applied who didn’t have the stats, or because they all just had way more applications this year. From her school Virginia Tech was significantly more than last year but not the others. [/quote]

Where do you find these acceptance percentages? [/quote]
