[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These numbers are all self-reported by students who choose to participate in the survey.  Not all choose to participate.  These stats are of limited value.[/quote]

I think they come from the schools, from naviance. That is accurate as to number of applications since the school has to send transcripts, etc. And at least at DCs school (in the Bethesda mag report) the guidance office gets acceptance info from the vast majority of students. [/quote]

Read the opening paragraph of the piece, where the stress that the numbers are self-reported by students and school officials cannot vouch for their accuracy.[/quote]

That’s true, but it could simply mean that school officials  did not personally review the admission or rejection methods.  The numbers are ... not good. [/quote]

It also means that mostly likely not everyone participated.  If you're the one kid from Yorktown who got into Amherst, you might think twice about participating and having everyone know you're one of the tools who bragged about their college admissions to Arlington Magazine.[/quote]

I really doubt that Arlington Magazine is directly communicating with the graduates.  Much more likely that the schools are giving the magazine information based on what the schools know.[/quote]
