[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am beginning to feel that Naviance is worthless. Waitlisted at many of the schools that Naviance said was not an issue. [/quote] Right. I think the problem is that Naviance data is retrospective while admit rates keep going lower every year at the most elite schools. And really, once you get admit rates below 15-20% it's no longer about being a qualified applicant; it's about subjective factors like "fit", diversity and just sheer luck. There's a reason people are starting to call applications to Ivies and such "the lottery." :? [/quote] DS2, with better GPA, SATs and a few harder classes than his older brother (neither outstanding in an particular area) was just wait listed and rejected at 2 schools where DS1 was accepted 3 years ago. So I'm less in love with Naviance for sure. [/quote]
