[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My D24 is anxiously waiting on a decision from Davidson. She would have applied early, but we need significant financial aid so need to weigh aid packages when the time comes. She was part of their fly-in program so is very hopeful despite the 14% acceptance rate last year.

She wants a small school w/top academics and a strong student experience in a warmer climate that is near "stuff" and Davidson checks those boxes. She said Davidson felt far friendlier and welcoming to students of color than the New England campuses she visited. It did not feel Southern to her. Most of the fly-in students were not from the South. There are a few frats for guys and eating houses for women but at least the eating houses are self selected with no rush process. And parties are open to the entire campus. She calls it Greek-lite.

She found the Davidson campus quite pretty and felt large for 2000 students. It's proximity to Charlotte is a big plus. She learned that most students do take advantage of the city for concerts, sporting events and internships. Plus she adored Davidson's Lake Campus on Lake Norman that is quite the student hangout on those warm Carolina days.  If she gets in and we get a good aid package, she will likely be a Wildcat next fall. [/quote]

Did your DD get in?! We just did a tour of Davidson and DC LOVED it. Checked all the boxes and will likely be applying ED.[/quote]

Sadly, waitlisted. She's committed to Hamilton currently but would jump if she somehow got accepted off Davidson's waitlist.[/quote]
