ISO an academically rigorous school that a B/B+ kid (from a private school) can get into. Late bloomer. Strong grades junior and senior years, but not the case of a bad 9th. Just mostly Bs in 9th and 10th. 35 ACT in single seating. A few AP exams that he self studied for, 5s in all.
Doesn't have to be a culture of rigor/academics, just want it to be available and a large enough cohort that he's not the odd man out. Open to the UK. |

Huh?
Davidson has always been a good school. It took people in the NE a while to realize that, but it's always been very in demand among southerners. |

| Came here to say Elon. Similar vibe to Davidson, still rigorous but easier to get into than Davidson. |

+1 Davidson has never taken mostly B students, even when those grades used to place one around the top 1/3. Davidson 30 yrs ago got a lot of cross applications and admits w Duke and Vanderbilt and UNCCH. 30 yrs ago, mid90s, UNCCH in state from one of the better public high schools, essentially required top 10%. Davidson did too , and often took the slightly higher subgroup. Duke has always favored NC students: the ones admitted from the better publics were top 3-5%. Mostly Bs is a middle to bottom half kid at all but a very few strict-grading privates. That kid in NC would be Unc greensboro, Elon, App state, sewanee these days. In the northeast Ursinius, Union, Lehigh? |
