<p>What is this?</p>
<p>so that would be in-state?</p>

<p>Does anyone else have Naviance stats to share?</p>
<p>My son's school does not have Naviance , or anything like it. Is there some other way to obtain the information it provides?</p>

I believe the only way to obtain Naviance information is for your high school to subscribe to the service. Our hs subscribed for the first time last year, and only included results for the classes of 2007 and 2008. Though these were helpful, it wasn't much to go on for those kids who were applying to schools outside of the list of usual suspects. For instance, ours is a feeder school for Cornell, so it was possible to see the application results there for many students. But only 4 of about 650 students applied to W & M during those two years, so we didn't really glean much useful information from it.</p>
<p>However - in looking at our school's Naviance stats for W & M, I realized that anyone who was interested could figure out my d's SATs and GPA, despite the fact that it's all supposed to be anonymous. There was only one ED applicant to W & M in those 2 years (my d) - so when Naviance shows the lowest accepted ED GPA and SATs, these of course belonged to my d. If you knew that she was accepted ED (which all her acquaintances did, because why hide it?), you’d also know these supposedly confidential stats.</p>
<p>In fact, we realized it was possible under certain circumstances to discover what some other people’s stats were, even if they hadn’t applied ED. Kind of a creepy feeling.</p>
<p>The Naviance program at S1's school theoretically blocks the graph if there's so little data that the students could be identified. But as frazzled said, it's uncomfortably easy to sort out what data point belonged to whom, in the past couple of years, especially at a small school. </p>
<p>Also, probably the OP knows this, but the point bears mentioning: Naviance data from one school doesn't have a whole lot of relevance for applicants from another school. The very reason it's such a useful tool is that it offers a look at results for applicants from the same school - meaning, among other things, that you don't have to wonder as much about how colleges view the rigor of your school's curriculum, the grading system at your school, etc. When you look at Naviance data from another school, it's not much different from reading about accepted averages/standardized test scores in a general guidebook; when you look at Naviance data from your own school, you know that, e.g., a 3.whatever GPA on that graph IS THE SAME as a 3.whatever on your own transcript. </p>
<p>Naviance graphs from our local h.s. look vastly different from those at S1's school.</p>
<p>Naviance uses the junior yr GPA, too. It isn't exact, but it gives an overview if enough kids have applied from the same school in a two or three year period. The problem, I think, is that the outliers, the kids who got in with low GPAs or lower than usual test scores, may give others false optimism. Some of the outliers might be kids recruited for other talents or kids with extenuating circumstances. It is certainly an interesting tool for college applicants, but it needs to be used with a grain of salt and yes, it invades privacy, absolutely.</p>
