[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How accurate our school’s Naviance has been in terms of matches (in at all) and reaches (denied or waitlisted). Not a pointy applicant; it seems like extracurriculars, essays, and letters didn’t have an effect.[/quote] The ECs, essays, and LOR don't matter unless you meet the "cusp" of the threshold. The other big thing - how does your kid compare to the other kids applying from the same school/class. So many people overlook this - its so important. Is your kid weak compared to the rest of the applicant school from your HS?[/quote] This. The first thing they do is compare your kid to the other kids in the class applying. How does your kid stand out? Didn’t realize that this is ultimately the entire point of the application. Standing out against your peers.[/quote]
