[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do not think Naviance reflects applications submitted. I think it reflects transcripts requested. There are very few kids at my kid’s school who apply ED. Only 35% go to a 4 year school and it’s mainly in state and then there are some each year who go out of state/to elite schools.  But Brown shows something like 8 applications on Naviance, Wake Forest 6.  Etc. There is no way that those kids all applied ED this year.  Maybe 1 or 2 at most.  So I think these are mainly RD applicants. [/quote]

OK. I’ve been looking at this way too much, and I think I agree that it’s transcript requests or submissions. Initially I thought it couldn’t be that because one of the schools where my kid’s transcript had been requested and submitted wasn’t showing any 2024 applicants, but today it’s showing five (all week it was showing none), which[b] I believe is the minimum number required before any data show[/b]. I know the counselors have been working this week on getting things submitted for Nov 1; I assume that yesterday they processed a fifth request, so today it’s showing five. They are processing all requests at once for students, not just the schools with Nov 1 deadlines, which is why the numbers are so high.

I’m now officially done reading these tea leaves. :)[/quote]
My data point - unless it differs by school, I do not believe 5 is the number required before any data show. My DD has requested transcripts to all colleges on her list but has only applied to 3 colleges as of now. There are two colleges on her list that she still hasn't applied to but requested transcripts for - the bar chart for 2024 is showing 1 applied for each of those two schools. There is another school on her list - again, she requested the transcript but hasn't submitted the application yet - and that school is showing 0 applied for 2024.

That's my data point - if it were transcript requests, why would two schools on her list show 1 applied but another school on her list would still show 0 applied when she requested transcripts for all those schools?

If it is true applications, wow - a lot of people have been submitting applications to schools already.[/quote]
