I would not rely on this for accuracy. I know a kid attending an Ivy from an HS that shows no acceptances from that school. Pretty sure a second kid from the same HS is also attending that same Ivy.

Some of these numbers are wildly off compared to Naviance. I'm not sure what the point is.

Obviously not accurate, but you can get a good idea.

The luster is, once again, not accurate. I just checked three random small application and/or acceptance rate-colleges for my DCs’ school (Whitman) that I knew have people going. All said zero enrolled.

The outer pointlessness of applying to Harvard - 4/293. That's ridiculous. Save your $85 and have a nice meal.
What a great safety Indiana is - 232/322. Totally underrated school.
And how challenging Vanderbilt is - 12/233. And Duke - 17/368.
It's tough out there.
Grade inflation. So many kids get very, very high grades in MCPS. Anything 89.5% is an A. Quarters are averaged so that an A and B equal an A. It's really hard to do poorly if you're a kid who cares at all. Hence you have almost 400 kids applying to Duke

How much input do each of these schools really have on where kids apply and how many apply per school?
Acceptances are self reported. The only check the school has is request for final transcript, but still relying on them to adjust data.

I can’t find the info. For those of you who can see it, are there any major changes?

Isn’t this student-reported instead of guidance counselor-?

No, both list applications, acceptances, and attendance.

How are these stats reported? Naviance shows far better Ivy outcomes for our high school than reported in this guide. Which would you believe?
