<p>northeastmom our hs started using this when my son was applying to colleges. It's lots of fun to plug in stats and see past results. BUT I have to say that it can also be dangerously misleading. Let me give you an example-
my son's gpa was higher and his sats higher than most of the kids on the charts who got into top colleges. When acceptances came out at the end of his senior year I read the list of names from the class of 05 who got into Harvard, 8 miles away from where we live. A couple were children of professors, one a son of a dean, another a huge legacy and son of a professor emeritus etc etc. I'm sure if I went back into the program he'd still be charted along the top of the graph. My point here is that naviance is pure numbers. No accounting for all of the many other factors that go into admissions.
But it is fun and interesting to look at!</p>
