<p>do all schools have this? should it be on my school’s website or do you have to ask your gc for it?</p>
<p>very interesting from my school…
shows gpa, 1600 sat, 2400 sat, act when available, and people accepted from my school and no i swear i didn’t make up these scores</p>
<p>Brown Univ - - - - - - - - - - 0/7
Columbia Univ - - - - - - - - - - 0/9
Cornell Univ 4.43 - 1333 1957 23 — 3/21
Dartmouth Coll - - - - - - - - - - 0/10
Harvard Univ 4.35 - 1290 1940 - - - 1/10
Princeton Univ 4.26 - 1100 1870 25 — 2/10
U of Pennsylvania - - - - - - - - - - 0/13
Yale Univ - - - - - - - - - - 0/5 </p>
<p>my school has many many smart kids who are rejected to the ivies but we have a history of sending athletic recruits, legacies, and 1st generation kids to the ivies with less than stellar stats (as evidenced very clearly by these scores) i mean 1100?!?? 23?!?? i’m assuming they just didn’t send the 23s though but i have no idea</p>
<p>Here is my scattergram:</p>
<p>NONE IN THE LAST DECADE</p>
<p>Oh, well, that was easy enough.</p>
<p>If you google naviance + guest password you may get quite a few schools allow you to access their scattergrams.</p>
<p>Columbia 1/6 3.8/35
Harvard 1/8 3.9/33
UPenn 1/7 4.0/32
Princeton 1/5 3.8/35
UVA 2/9 3.9/26
3.8/31ED
Yale 1/13 3.8/33EA and playing a sport</p>
<p>This is UW GPA data (A+ = 4.3) from only the past couple of years
Harvard 4.18 2270
Brown 3.91 2180
Yale 4.03 2240
Princeton 4.2 2260
Columbia 3.78 2040
Dartmouth 3.95 2160
Cornell 3.78 2040
Stanford 4.15 2300</p>
<p>So if I understand GPA’s correctly, the average unweighted grade for Harvard applicants from your school is 96.8? </p>
<p>Intense.</p>
<p>What does 0/13 mean - zero accepted out of 13 who applied?</p>
<p>Also, I still don’t understand the weighted/unweighted GPA thing on this thread. Some posters who said their school’s GPA’s are unweighted still have some listed above 4.0 - how is that possible?</p>
<p>Most schools use unweighted gpa. All the stats here are for accepted applicants.</p>
<p>Our school does not weight GPA or provide class rank. The highest GPA is 4.3 which is an A+ (an A is a 4.0) This is due to a change in the grading scale a few years back. So, unweighted, a student can still have a GPA over 4.0.</p>
<p>I have no idea the stats of the kids who got into the schools, but we had:</p>
<p>4 Yale
2 Hopkins
15 Penn
2 Brown
2 Cornell
2 Chicago
1 Columbia
1 Stanford</p>
<p>Public school ~430 kids in Pennsylvania</p>
<p>Well, my school has only about 250 people in it and only got a website within the past couple years. Soooo, no naviance scattergram for me :(</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I believe my school uses the same system as yours, but it’s a bit confusing. According to what’s published, 94-96 is a 4.0 and 97-100 is a 4.3. Now, I highly doubt the validity of this. My understanding is that 95 is a 4.0, and for every point above or below it, the 4.0 is lowered or raised by one tenth. Can anyone tell me if I’m right?</p>
<p>We don’t use Naviance (now that I’ve found out what it is.. lol)
but… aceptances:
13 Cornell
9 UPenn
4 Columbia
4 Dartmouth
2 Harvard
2 Yale
3 Brown (that I know of, anyway)
0 Princeton (that I know of..)
1 Stanford
3 Duke
3 Chicago
0 MIT
520 grauating class size public school</p>
<p>gosh i still cannot get over my school’s average SAT to princeton is 1100!!! like regardless of gpa and athletic recruitment that is absolutely ridiculous..</p>
<p>I think I’m missing something here. Where do you people get this information?</p>
<p>friedrice, Your school pays for a college search engine and database management system called “Naviance”. Every student gets entered, their GPAs and test scores are loaded, students input the schools they think they might want to apply to. It can also store historical information: who applied to which schools and what their stats were, and therefor what were the stats of those admitted, deferred or denied. These are then plotted on scattergrams. The numbers you are seeing posted are the critical junction: student with higher GPA’s and/or SATs than that pair of coordinates would very likely be admitted. Below, not so much.</p>
<p>The beauty of this system, once it gets rolling, is that it gives you a view of how students FROM YOUR SCHOOL fare in the admissions game. It’s a more accurate version of “chances.” Guidance counselors can also add comments about successful applicants who fall outside of the statistical probability of being admitted, :“athlete hook” “legacy”, and so on.</p>
<p>Ask your GC if they have any plans to buy Naviance. Our school just got it this year, and I’m a parent volunteer helping get it going for our seniors. I think its got a lot going for it.</p>
<p>Well, from what I know, here are the acceptances from last year (take note that these are only of people that I’ve heard from. There are possibly acceptances from individuals I never talked to or heard about)</p>
<p>This includes multiple acceptances…one girl at our school got into almost every top school she applied to.</p>
<p>0 Harvard
1 Princeton
2 Yale
3 Stanford
4 Cornell
1 UPenn
3 Duke
? Dartmouth
? Brown
? Columbia</p>
<p>My School (CA), 95 kids/grade, last two years, including multiples:</p>
<p>Harvard: gpa 3.89/sat 2279 (8)
Brown: gpa 3.73 / sat 2240 (12)
Yale: gpa 3.66 / sat 2217 (10)
Princeton: gpa 3.72 / sat 2223 (6)
Columbia: gpa 3.60 / sat 2188 (13)
Dartmouth:gpa 3.77 / sat 2223 (4)
Cornell: gpa 3.75 / sat 2202 (12)
Stanford:gpa 3.79 / sat 2229 (17)</p>
<p>UC Berkeley: gpa 3.76 / sat 2200 (34)
UCLA: gpa 3.69 / sat 2193 (41)</p>
<p>I wish the scattergrams include SAT II scores even AP scores.</p>
<p>Yeah, the results can be misleading. I think they should give a profile of each accepted and rejected applicant, including their SAT II’s. They should also put down whether or not this person was recruited as an athlete or legacy or if they are a URM (they could just put down race and not label them a “URM,” but either one might cause trouble I guess…).</p>
