I have looked at Naviance and I am solid for many of the schools for which I am considering. However, this is a stats based system based upon compiled averages of several years. My sense, as you have alluded, is that past trends are now out the window because of the economy. Economic pressures have forced many kids to look at instate options, which is driving up scores. Public schools are under increased pressure to admit instate kids and limit OOS enrollment. It now appears much harder for OOS kids to get into better publics than is reflected in Naviance. Not sure that Naviance is a good predictor anymore as the landscape has changed overnight.
