Help me interpret Naviance data?

I would just caution against reading too much into Naviance GPA and SAT averages. In particular the common app has really increased applications over the last 8 years and the chart function may show you acceptances in your “circle” that were from 7-8 years ago. Things have changed so much since then that you really cannot use this data as an indicator of your chances.

Depending on your school, you also need to take a close look at the graph to see if schools are taking a wide range of students and bringing down the averages. For example, at my Daughter’s school, Williams and Amherst have accepted averages of 93/2050. But both schools took a few students with 90 GPAs and sub 1800 SATs so these are likely athletes or some other hooked student.

I think if you are in the range for a cluster of acceptances on a naviance graph you are probably ok, but you should probably hold off on buying that Brown sweatshirt until you actually get it.

(sorry just noticed that your data isn’t that old, but the point still stands, to a lesser extent)

You can use the tag [ code] data [ /code] to wrap around your data and it will be easier to view. Just remove the spaces inside the [ ]
