[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At our private, the parents were all shocked by a Penn admittance  last year with a 3.75 and 1490.  We couldn’t figure it out and suspect some shenanigans [/quote]

How do you know the stats?[/quote]

You know the stats because they come out on SCOIR or Naviance the next year.  At a private of 70 kids, there may be 10 kids who apply to Penn.  Two get in. 
The next year you see the admitted kids' stats on SCOIR as well as their intended majors. 
So is it very easy to match up stats with a kid. 
Plus one school we know removes all hooked kid data from SCOIR.  So you know if you see the stats on SCOIR that the kid was unhooked.

Plus all the kids talk.  They know who is smart and does well.  They know who consistently gets Bs or a C on all tests.  It's not like a public where there are 550 kids in a grade and there are 450 of them that you have never met or had in class.  When there are 70 the kids know.  But that is really besides the point because it all comes out in SCOIR anyway. [/quote]
