<p>Hi, My daughter's school profile on the naviance.connection.com has limited schools access. In other words most kids from our school district go to large universities or CC or State schools. We are in Upstate NY. So when I check out out naviance for small LAC the graph/ stat says privacy due to limited data. So is there anyway I can check out other school Naviance without ID password just to get an idea what kind of students are accepted/denied. My daughter is interested in small LAC n the NorthEast. Any help will be deeply appreciated. Thanks in Advance!!</p>
<p>SEarch for a thread on here that lists a bunch of schools that allow guests to login to their Naviance. It would be most meaningful, though, if you found a school close to you in grographical and academic terms.</p>
<p>fyi, it looks like many schools who had public access to their Naviance changed to private in the last few weeks; not sure if the vendor changed? or what has happened but wanted to give you a heads up…</p>
<p>I noticed the move from public to private access too.</p>
<p>It’s not always that valuable to look at the Naviance for another school. The same GPA can mean something vastly different.</p>
<p>This sometimes works for my school, though I’m not sure how helpful it will be to you, but sometimes if I’m looking at the data with SAT out of 2400 and it won’t show me, I switch it to SAT out of 1600 and then it often will let me see (because it goes farther back, so there are more people, etc.) If there really are very, very few people, it might still not work, though.</p>
<p>Naviance uses data based on your school’s profile. One profile doesn’t necessarily look like another’s just because it’s the same year. The program is based on statistics. Let’s say my HS sends 10% of their graduating class to the ivies. Our public school’s graduating class is 650 kids. That’d be quite different if the class size is 65. (65 kids vs 7).</p>
<p>I may be wrong but I was under the impression that the data may go private if there is a limited # of kids that apply (perhaps 1 or 2) because then their particular stats would be out there for everyone to see. </p>
<p>I always check out the admissions page to check out the general data there.</p>
<p>My school has 60 kids per grade and if 1 kid applied the scattergram still comes up. I can figure out exactly whose SAT scores are whose.</p>
<p>My school restricts the information to nearly all of the schools that I am applying to, probably because nearly no one has applied to them. Personally, I found this quite frustrating, as Naviance was practically useless for me. :|</p>
<p>If there is a specific school that interests you, talk to your guidance counselor. Even though Naviance scattergrams say “restricted”, he or she has access to the data and may be willing to share.</p>
<p>And, don’t forget to take your particular child’s potential major into account. Naviance was completely useless for Happykid because her (uncommon but not ridiculously rare) major proved to be unsearchable.</p>
<p>I’m sorry; I guess my post was not clear…I was referring to overall access to the Naviance site for a particular high school; we used to be able to search scattergrams without passwords…it seems as if the access to the entire site has been changed to private at many high schools recently…</p>
<p>am already aware that if you don’t have enough data points that it will not show up; and to the poster who uses the SAT 1600 for old data points; we were actually told that there were some Naviance systems that can be programmed to include both the m/v AND the m/v/w breakdown for the same student…so, those data points may not necessarily be “old ones”, but rather just adjusted without writing scores…</p>
<p>Thanks everyone for your responeses appreciate it. I agree especially with Happymomof1 as many factors of a particular child may play a part in admissions. In our HS class of 400 send 10% to top 20 or State universities its hard for someone to get data on LAC</p>

Our hs told us that the data would be private for any schools with fewer than 4 applicants. There was a bug in this system, however. The school was a new Naviance user, with only 2 years of data available. My d applied ED to her college and was the only student in the hs who ever had. So the datapoint for “lowest accepted GPA/SAT” was obviously her. She didn’t really mind - she’d never claimed higher scores to anyone, and was happy enough with both.</p>
<p>
Sorry - meant to say the datapoint for “lowest accepted ED GPA/SAT” was obviously my d. Synapse failure.</p>
<p>This is the same problem we have with Naviance at our school. Most of the schools D is looking at have had very few applicants from our hs - so no data is displayed. [ There was a bug when they first installed it - data was actually shown even if there was just one applicant. Unfortunately, I didn’t write down the details when they were available!].</p>
<p>Planning on asking D to talk to the GC - GC should be able to tell her if her GPA/SAT are similar to the ones that were accepted/denied from our school.</p>
