[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly, that's not something I'd overly talk about if I were them. No one should want their ED school to become a fad amongst their peer group (obviously the usual suspects are always popular for ED and REA applications, but still). [b]It's sad, but a kid's first layer of competition is their peer group so I feel for that school with 11 kids EDing to Brown. Unless Brown is known for taking close to that many applicants from one high school that is why private school counselors will try to steer kids to other institutions,[/b] particularly if they have a sense that your kid isn't one of the X who is likely to be accepted.

Based on current Naviance numbers, looks like 20+ (including my kid) will apply ED to Brown from our big public school. Historically, about 10% from our school get in (overall, not just ED). It’s just a popular school. Nothing much to be done about it.[/quote]

The Naviance numbers are the number of kids who requested a transcript be sent and not the number who have applied. So you don’t know how many of those ED vs RD[/quote]

I don’t think this is right, at least not at my kid’s school. My kid has requested transcripts for nine schools, but only some of them show any 2024 applicants in Naviance. And the number is currently ticking up by the day, which leads me to conclude it’s reflecting submitted applications—or maybe some action taken by the guidance counselor on applications.

And while it doesn’t say ED vs RD, the numbers have started going up in the last week or so, which seems likely to be related to the Nov. 1 ED deadline.[/quote]

It’s either requested transcripts or submitted, not sure.  Either way it’s not ED. I know last year the school my DC applied ED to showed almost 50 applicants at the ED date. DC asked counselor, who said I think 8 or 9 applied ED. [/quote]

Hmm. Still trying to figure out…

…if it’s requested, why wouldn’t Naviance show applicants for all nine of the schools where my kid requested transcripts; and
…if it’s submitted, why would counselors be submitting now if not to meet ED deadlines?

I also know Naviance configuration varies by school, so it’s possible that’s what’s going on.[/quote]
