What should Naviance give students and their families?

But, in the case of my D’s school, there are roughly 550-600 students per class, so with hundreds and hundreds of checkmarks (acceptances) and strikes (rejections), let’s say in the example of UCLA, I’m not sure I/we need any more accuracy than “we’re in the ballgame.” There are lots of cases of students with outstanding stats being rejected and those with lesser stats being accepted.

The checkmarks and strikes in the scattergrams overlap, so I don’t see a point to even greater accuracy of the GPA’s.

If there were separate scattergrams for UCLA L&S and UCLA engineering (or each engineering major), that may show how much of the overlap is due to selectivity differences by division or major, versus by evaluation of subjectively-graded aspects of the applications (e.g. essays).
