[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Privates don't owe the general public this information. The majority share SCOIR or Naviance scattergrams with parents of their students that allows them to get a pretty specific picture of who is admitted and where. [/quote]

Why would a small, elite private school serving a very exclusive group of students need to widely publicize info about their students for wider audience consumption? I find it odd.[/quote]

They don't but I appreciate the transparency about my unhooked kid's chances at elite schools given where their GPA is relative to others at the school.  For instance, the college counselors at the DC schools will not say an unhooked kid with a 3.5 has never gotten into xxx college.  With this data, you can see how many have applied there with your GPA and figure out if it is a realistic admit and not the college counselor strategizing to get another kid into that school or whatever.  The actual data also protects the college counseling office IMO when they can show look, 18 kids applied to BU in your GPA range, 3 got in, its not impossible but not realistic.  [/quote]
