Ivy-admits (include cross-Ivy-admits) wait-listed over & over, year after year, by the high-profile LAC’s. Typically, such Ivy-admits can only get in to a highly rated LAC if that student is a legacy at the LAC. That has been the consistent history from our school.

Thanks for all the info, epiphany. Is the above experience due to the LACs knowing of the Ivy acceptances, or is it an issue of fit I wonder?</p>

The scattergrams are just interesting and fun to look at and that is all

I find the scattergrams interesting. (I didn’t look at HPY etc, I was looking at average LACs and Big State schools). My aim was to get a better idea of student body stats.
In some cases (scattergrams for a given college from a given HS) it’s pretty clear that anyone below a certain grade point and/or below a certain test score wasn’t accepted.
In some cases I can look at the graph and get a better idea of the range of accepted students than I get from knowing the average ACT or the 25th/75th scores.
I’m looking at one scattergram right now that has all acceptances (except one outlier) above 3.5 GPA and most (but not all) ACT scores of 28 or higher (4 below 28, 16 at or above). The average ACT is shown as 29 but in this school’s case it would be more accurate to view it as an approximate minimum for the majority of students. One ACT in the teens and 3 in the lower 20s pulled that average way down. Same thing with grade point - average shown as 4.05 but the majority were above that, again with a few ‘oddballs’ pulling the average down.</p>

<p>Some of the large schools show a sizable region of mixed acceptances and rejections, probably because different programs have different requirements.<br>
Some schools show no rejections at all. Some show no students above a certain ACT score.</p>

<p>I also find the list of schools applied to very interesting. I’m still trying to figure out whether choices are based on popularity or what??</p>

<p>There is a way to get national data via Naviance- useful especially if only one or two people at your high school have applied to a specific college. Does anyone know how to access the national naviance scattergrams?</p>

<p>Does anyone have a password for a NY school?</p>

<p>how do you find the scatter gram comparing you to accepted/declined people from your high school to individual colleges?</p>

<p>Someone might want to go ahead and start a new Naviance thread. This one is pretty old.</p>
