You can log in as a guest here (https://connection.naviance.com/fc/s...p?hsid=wootton) to see some aspects to Naviance firsthand. Once you're a registered member, you can manage your resume (to help guidance counselors write letters of recommendation), keep track of all test scores (SATs, ACT, APs), search for scholarships, and other good stuff you can already view as a guest (a school's particular acceptance history, for instance).

But I don't think there is any breakout of ED vs RD applications. That would be useful.
Our version shows how many were waitlisted or deferred (blue diamonds) and then of that group which ones were rejected or accepted (diamonds are changed to red or green). However I don't think there was a symbol for accepted early. I'd guess if you asked they could easily make a symbol for the EA and ED admits.

Is there a symbol for kids who applied but never informed the conselor of the outcome? Does naviance rely on self-reporting?

Although a useful tool to a degree, it is not very accurate at my kids' large public HS. There is missing or just plain incorrect data entered frequently. The one kid who went to Harvard a few years ago isn't even on the Harvard graph, and I know my dd's info isn't accurate on the graphs of the colleges she applied to a year ago.
So use with caution.

Our school....a small private prep school....wouldn't use graphs, etc... in areas where only 1 or 2 students applied for privacy purposes. It would just state that there wasn't enough data to provide info.

That way when only 1 person applied to a certain ivy from our class, we all wouldn't know if they were denied, waitlisted, etc...
