[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This data is amazing. Than you. What saddens me as a GDS parent is that they never once shared data like this with us. It was always a game to try to figure out the tone of the college counselor.

"What are my chances at XYZ?"
"Well if it's in your heart, you should apply"

WTF is that supposed to mean. We have no naviance. and they fall back on holistic review blah blah.

All I needed from the office is to tell me and my kid- should they apply to these schools and what's GDS historic record for unhooked kids in that GPA range.

We could never get a straight answer. It was always couched in feel good language.

I know GDS keeps such a list but they just don't share it w/ parents - even when direct questions are asked.

Are Sidwell/Potomac/Albans/NCS any better?

Do you have access to previous students’ acceptance through SCOIR scattergrams? We are at a different school and found them directionally helpful to somewhat gauge reasonability of consideration. [/quote]

GDS does not allow students or families access to SCOIR scattergrams. CCO is not at all forthcoming with statistics, which severely erodes trust in the CCO. I do not understand how the CCO fails to grasp this. Transparency breeds trust.[/quote]
