Do you have kids in high school or college?

Anyone with kids in high school can look at Naviance and see the spread of GPAs/SAT scores and which ones got rejected vs waitlisted or accepted.

They can look at these anonymous charts, and quickly see patterns at certain schools of higher scores getting rejected and lower scores getting accepted.

The kids accepted to schools are very public with sharing their good news. They are open about the majors they applied to, and often very open about sharing their SATs and GPAs with friends.  But in doing so, the other kids are able to see how their higher stats/better activities/more awards/etc compare to the kids accepted, along with the other rejections vs acceptances.  If there is a pattern of much higher stat kids getting rejected while lower stat kids getting accepted, it is very easy to see.[/quote]

ours lets us see by year. its very easy to tell which dot is which kid when the graduating class is around 100[/quote]
