<p>Our high school college counseling department provides Scattergrams for different colleges. It will graph GPA vs. ACT (or GPA vs. SAT) with points on the graph being students admitted or denied. All data is per our high school for the last 5 years. Not all schools are shown. There have to be enough applications to prevent problems with confidentiality. It is great tool.</p>
<p>Do other schools provide similar information?</p>
<p>… never heard of it.</p>
<p>Interesting idea though. I feel like it wouldn’t be helpful for top schools, though could give some nice data for average schools.</p>
<p>Many schools use the Naviance program to do this. Use the Search function and you should find several hits and might be able to get into a few HS sites to see their scattergrams. Of course, each school is individual for it’s demographics, grading system, etc.</p>
<p>We have Naviance, and it’s quite amusing to look at schools where only one or two people got accepted because the average GPA and SAT are only that person’s stats.</p>
<p>Yeah, Naviance… My school’s only been using it for four years, which is why the database is incomplete, but I like browsing through the scattergrams. It’s amusing how nobody from my school’s gotten into Harvard or Stanford in years, so there are swarms of inconsolable crosses toward the upper right-hand corner (and a lone blue waitlist in Harvard’s case), but Yale and Princeton are overrun with average acceptees (~3.7/~2100). Every school has its peculiarities.</p>
<p>And it’s cool when you can figure out someone’s SAT writing score by switching from the M+CR SAT graph to the 2400 one.</p>
<p>I like seeing my little red circle closer to the top-right corner than anyone else’s :).</p>
<p>The 1700/3.5 Stanford admit drives me bonkers when compared to the 4.1/2200 rejects.</p>
