My kid’s school makes the students fill out a form and then the school enters the data.

I wouldn’t be too concerned about self reporting. There is no incentive to lie.

How do you self-report your acceptances? Not where you enroll but your acceptances?

Students have to use Naviance to indicate which school they are entering so final transcript can be sent. Usually they update the rest of the results at the same time.

I did notice last year that some students were updating as they got EA results and we could see the changes when we looked at the schools individually.

Usually May and even then it’s up to the seniors what info they share.

DC has where they applied this year - but I question how accurate it is. Would have expected more Penn State applications- was down at least 20%, but hear it being talked about more.

+1. well after. Sometimes Naviance can be two years out of date.

If self report don’t trust at all.

Our high school results in Naviance are all over the place for T20s - I think mostly due to athletic recruits so it has really hard to figure out “realistic” reaches/ high targets.

Also keep in mind that the school might require a minimum number to report. For example, nothing gets reported on our Naviance instance until there’s an n of 5; this applies to applications and acceptances. So you might see 20 applications but no acceptances to an Ivy because only a couple of kids get in. Or you might see a school where it looks like no one has applied certain years, but that’s because fewer than five kids applied in those years. Etc.

Naviance is useful only in the broadest strokes, in my experience. It’s not helpful for the sort of decision you’re describing.

After the kids graduate

I know that our private school updated Scoir after graduation. I’d assume most schools update then.

Is it a school by school process or is there an auto med feed that posts updates? Any info would be helpful.

Trying to use that info to determine if it is worth applying ED2 to a reach.

Will not be able to talk to counselor before the ED2 deadline due to the break.

I would not trust Naviance for this sort of decision. Our counselor said it was self-reported, with some effort to check as final transcript requests came in, nothing automatic about it. No expectation of real time reporting.

I think most schools update once students have received all of their decisions but before they graduate. It’s usually self reported by the students.
