[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went on our schools IG from last year and wrote down all the names of schools with kids going for engineering (since that’s the major my DD wanted). Then I circled the ones that had multiple hits. My DD used that list to research schools, plus she had some from her own research. I went to naviance to get a feel for reach, target and safety. Naviance ended up being spot on for our FCPS HS which only keeps 3 years worth of data. I’m a data person and the data’s out there to help us. [/quote] I heard an admissions officer from a large college (I can’t remember which one) on YCBK state that they use a computer program to track the performance of kids from each high school once they are in college, so they know that a kid with a 4.2 at XX high school will generally perform at a certain level at their school. So it helps if kids from your high school have attended and done well at their college. [/quote]
