[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC is being recruited by both for her sport, and submitted pre read material for Amherst.  Messaging from both coaches indicates she will be in top tier of recruiting targets for both schools.  Luvs both coaches and campuses, and vibe at both.  For those familiar with both, what aspects highlight the differences - pros and cons - between the two? Econ major with business-type aspirations at this young age [/quote]

Have her go to recruiting weekends at both schools her senior year. She may walk away with a distinct preference… based on team dynamic and coach.

These are both excellent schools. Good luck to your daughter![/quote]

Yes, both are excellent schools, but, there are difference. Amherst sits in top 2 since US News started ranking colleges, and yes, it sit in top 1 for about 10 years about 20 years back. As far as Davidson, do someone know what's its highest ranking?

It made it to #10, not long ago. Great school, but there is a difference. It’s surprising to me the kid doesn’t have a preference, regardless.

D3 vs D1
Open curriculum vs distribution requirements 
New England vs South
Very diverse vs limited diversity comparatively (something like 50% POC vs 16%)
No Greek life vs Greek life
Nerdier vibe vs more balanced vibe

I have two very different kids. One on their way to Amherst, can’t wait. The other would pick Davidson in a heartbeat.[/quote]
