Since I've never heard of MaiaLearning or Scoir, my answer would be not helpful in our kid's college application process.

23:54 again…and so far seems to be pretty accurate for the class of 250.

Scoir (and I presume any similar tool) has limitations in that it doesn’t calculate the “intangibles”. That being said, it was fairly accurate for DC who got ED choice that predicted just over 50% chance. Before the ED had accurately predicated other acceptances.

So far accurate for my class of ‘25 student.

We have Naviance; it shows 4 years. School doesn't weight. My DC was over the average GPA for his ED school, but apparently that's meaningless since he ED'd Chicago and I've since discovered they accept 100% of ED applicants.

Our school uses scoir and has up to 4 years of data. I usually start by looking at just 2024’s results, then add 2023. If there isn’t a lot of applicants you have no choice but to look at 2021-2024.

Congrats, PP!

Our school shows a similar number of years but is only unweighted GPA, not weighted. We have Maia.

I think every high school either has Maialearning, Scoir or Naviance. Naviance is the original one and Maia and Scoir are updated versions that have made a few improvements to useability. But they are all just scattergrams that plot the stats of actual students from your school who got into each college by regular decision, EA or ED and what their stats were.

You should ask your school's CC if you haven't heard of them or don't yet access. Everyone should get access to one of these platforms to see your specific school date. It helps you see where similar GPA candidates from your own school community (with the same grading system whether it's inflated or deflated or neutral) got accepted. It's where they were admitted, not only where they chose to matriculate. It shows accepted, waitlisted or denied and their GPA/ACT or SAT score if applicable.

Pretty accurate last year.

Usually WL in RD at the “cusp” reach colleges.
Admitted at the one RD reach college - on the lower end of stats - but hooked for that school.

My DS’s school graduates 250 per year. I like to sort to just last year. So far it’s been totally accurate. When I sort and allow several years of data, I think it’s going to be less accurate but also less likely to have a big sample. Our counselors are all over the kids to update, so that helps get the good data.
No, class of 2025 data won’t get updated on real time.

Is it a good predictor? Or missing too many inputs? How many years does the data provided to you go back?

How quickly do you get the current year's stats? Is it in real time (so EA/ED results already loaded in)?
