[quote=Anonymous]My best source of info is our school-level data. Our school profile and the acceptance & matriculation list for the last few years - both are usually posted on high school websites. Some schools also post more granular data. Graduating class “decision” Instagram accounts plus linked-in to get a sense of ECs. And finally Naviance. Using all of these, in combination with Common Data Sets, can be helpful. Your high schooler should ask their classmates/friends who are seniors for advice on classes, teachers, who to avoid, what colleges they got into/rejected from. Kids are usually more than happy to pass on details and stats once they’re nearing graduation! Finally, most students are over confident and apply to schools they are unlikely to get into. Having a robust well-rounded list will give your kid a less stressful experience. [/quote]
