[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I mean does NCS give Naviance scattergram access to US students?

Let me give you some breaking news. Naviance is totally and I mean completely worthless. My kid was a SHOE IN (and is no one even close has ever been denied) for 12 colleges that he was rejected/WL for.  Naviance is from an era that no longer exists.  Its all song and dance and grandma was hispanic and I wrote a book my parents published and am TO. Congrats! you are in everywhere!

In seriousness, forget Naviance. This was our first time through the hellhole of college admissions and we thought it was a realistic guide since it used data from our high school. It was worse than useless, it was dangerously useless.  They should just take it offline.

Yes, Naviance was a poor predictor, but that "song and dance" line is completely fallacious and fueled by bitterness (which I get). It's OK to be disappointed and frustrated, but don't make crap up to justify your loss. And, consider maybe part of the loss was one of extra privilege that had been previously awarded to kids just because they attended that school.

I am sorry your kid is disappointed. That stinks. I get it. [/quote]

Maybe that is why SFS does not use Naviance, if I am correct on that. Maybe they were right along despite the fussing about it on here.[/quote]
