[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Both have flaws. College Vine is self reported while most of the scattergrams you will access from her school will likely have statistically insignificant data.

Use both as a guide.[/quote]

Most schools remove legacies, recruited athletes, first gen, etc. so the scattergrams are actually pretty accurate. [/quote]

Please be careful about saying “most schools.”  That may be your experience but I’m fairly certain that MCPS schools do not do this.[/quote]

Agree. Our school does not remove athletes [/quote]

The local DMV privates removes the hooked applicants (big donors, celebrity kids, legacies, recruited athletes). It is possible because there are only 75-125 kids per grade. I can’t imagine it would be easy to do this at a public school with 700 seniors. If your DC’s school doesn’t do this and you see random green checks outside the main cluster of green, you can 100% assume that person was hooked. [/quote]
