They must have current year data turned off for us. We have just over a 100 kids so maybe for privacy at a small school?

Ours only shows the past 5 years as well.
I was looking for some PSAT data yesterday and found a college board report that has the colleges scores were sent to for each state. BU and NEU were both quite popular in NJ.

Yup, you nailed it. All about vibe/fit. My kid is not remotely interested in any other Ivy and is applying to only one other top 25 university.
At our school, UMass Amherst gets the most apps (last year about 180). Around half the class applies (+/- 400 every year). Other popular schools: Northeastern - 88, UNH 83, BU 61, BC 49, Tufts 32. Among the Ivies, Brown and Cornell are the most popular - about 20-25 kids apply there each year. So few kids apply to Penn that it doesnāt show anything in SCOIR. Princeton is also not very common.

Bumping to 6,000,001 for D24. 
Sounds like she is looking for the same vibe as Collegequestions5ās kid. Brown, Wesleyan, UVM, Vassar are all on D24ās list.
Having said that, she did a Brown pre-college program this summer, and the dorm she was in was truly awful. The carpeted floor was soaking wet the entire week (from a leaky a/c unit) and the bathroom left a lot to desire. But she left the pre college program with a much better appreciation for Brown than when sheād first toured it, dingy dorm and all.

Back down to 6,000,000. My son decided not to apply. He likes it better than any other school he visited or checked out. But his chances of getting in are so small, and as he has become more set on engineering, he felt like it probably is not worth applying.

So our high school shares the number of kids that have applied to popular schools in the last 3 years and the avg gpa and the sat score of the kids who got accepted. They share with the senior class at the start of the year.
We are in a highly ranked school in CA. The class size is around 450. So in the last 3 years 500+ students applied to Michigan (so about 150+ kids each year) and Northeastern is 302 kids (so about 100 kids per year ) UIUC has about 280+ kids or 90 kids per year. When I saw these stats I was also shocked. Based on this high number of kids applying to the schools I am paying more attention to the what Naviance has to say.

Ok. I am less impressed by the insanity now that I see what happens at other schools. They do have about 10 kids applying to Vanderbilt and Emory too which is surprising in a different way
I think in Brownās case, for my S24, it wasnāt about ED/RD, it was just about him having enough other reach colleges he liked more.
In fact, technically he still has 8 possible reach applications left on his Kickstart list, not including ones like Brown he has taken off, or his REA school to which he already applied. That will be mooted if he gets into his REA school, but if not, I think that is still too many. Meaning I think if he could, say, trim that to more like 5 or 6 at most, that would be good (and even less would be better). Particularly since he will likely have one or two Targets left at that point as well.
So again, the purging of that reach list is still in progress, and Brown did not make it to the Round of 8 (9 if you include his REA).
Is he tired out ?
Otherwise better to apply than not. He may not get in or he may get in and not go. But in a few months time if he reconsidered it will be too lateā¦
If you drew a Venn diagram of all the things this generation cares about most, Brown would be in the center. And others such asā¦(fill in more here)
This sounds very much like our MA high school- with UNH the other very popular school after UMass.
UVM is also very popular. UMaine and URI less so.
UVM is extremely popular in our area (mid-Atlantic), as well. I think its popularity is similar to BrownāsāUVMās location in Burlington is lively, and the schoolās vibe is kind, collaborative, crunchy, LGBTQ-friendly. It hits a lot of the marks for a subset of Gen Z.

UVM has historically offered generous merit to kids from our school.

This generation cares about Venn diagrams?

Not necessarily, but they do like irony, so would probably appreciate a Venn diagram showing Venn diagrams as outside the circles.
