[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is it just me or does it seem like this school's stock has been rising lately?[/quote]

I'd agree. Ages ago in the late 1980s nobody from the Cathedral schools applied.  I hadn't even heard of Davidson back then.[/quote]

That must have changed fairly soon after you graduated then. I actually know 4 people who graduated from the Cathedral schools in the 1990s who went to Davidson (& I didn't even go to NCS or Davidson!).[/quote]

Agreed. Was looking at colleges in the early 1990s and plenty of people were interested in Davidson. In those days it had acceptance rates around 35-40%, I believe. Which was considered competitive by LAC standards. It was known as a very good LAC and popular with upper middle class kids looking for a low key, relaxed atmosphere with better weather than the Maine LACs.

All the top 25 or so LACs are just as well known today as they were 25 years ago. It's a self-selective pool, heavily dominated by upper middle class kids from suburban publics and private schools. [/quote]

Wow. 35-40%?? Even by the mid-'90s, the acceptance rate was much lower than that![/quote]
