[quote=Anonymous]Try googling the Common Data Set for schools on your list. You'll see a breakdown of test scores, GPAs and academic requirements for accepted students, and also info about how a school rates extra curricular activities, essays, interviews, etc. This is the official info the colleges report to the outside world so you have to assume it's fairly accurate. Then, compare the info against your high school's Naviance results to get a sense of how individual admissions offices weight your high school (at our HS there are a few highly regarded SLACS who routinely take kids in the bottom tier of the CDS stats -- I guess they just like our school). I used this strategy for both of my kids and found it pretty much on the money in terms of results. Good luck. [/quote]
