| Yes, ours is completely anonymous, but it only has one year of data in each Excel file. So, we're a small town and we tend to know that Johnny is at Dartmouth, but had applied Princeton EA and was rejected and, if he is in your kid's friendship group, maybe all the schools he applied to. And maybe you even know his SATs and GPAs because of parent/kid chat. So, the data doesn't add much.
In other cases, you might know Mary Lou is at GWU. But you didn't know her GPA or her SATs or that she applied and was rejected from Georgetown. If there is only one kid in the data base accepted and matriculated at GWU, you now know her whole GPA/SAT profile and the results of all college apps she submitted.
Just part of being in a small town. Leads to what JHS talked about. |
