<p>I have actually used Naviance from the high school side of things. I would input each college result - whether it was an acceptance, deferral, etc. into the Naviance database. For the current year - only the GC and people working at the hs with access can see results. It updates August 1 of each year for parents and students to view. So - you won’t see results for the Class of 2012 until August 1. </p>
<p>MD Mom - I agree with you that Naviance has no way to label a particular data point as a “hooked” applicant. That might be very touchy. Maybe not for athletes - but for URMs? I think it is just safe to use Naviance as a rough tool and to assume when you see an admit that is an outlier that it was a hooked applicant.</p>
<p>NewHope33 - results trickle in all year long - it’s really not a deluge on 4/1. In the fall, students would stop by our office and inform us of EA and rolling results - ED results mid-December and so forth. My son’s hs is much larger and they just ask us to email results to them as we get them. Some colleges do send the GC a list in April - summarizing every student who applied and the final outcome.</p>
<p>SJR - enjoyed the comment from the GC about Naviance updating automatically - that’s pretty amusing. I assure you that a person enters each result into the database. If a hs sends out 2000 transcript requests - meaning 2000 applications went out from that high school - than 2000 results need to be entered. Each student has a page on Naviance and it lists every college that they requested a transcript for and how they applied - EA, RD, ED, etc. There is simply a drop down menu for results for each college listed - just a matter of being told the results and selecting the correct response for each college. It might take all of 20 seconds to enter each one. I actually found this to be a very fun part of the job - I loved having the kids come in and tell me their results.</p>
