[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Off topic but besides Steph curry, who are famous alums of Davidson?

it seems like a wonderful school with strong academics but doesn’t seem to place well in nyc/dc like Nescacs/swat/haverford etc?

Do most Davidson kids just stick around the south east after graduation?

Well, you probably haven't heard of these folks... Woodrow Wilson (President of the United States), Patricia Cornwell (she wrote a few best selling books), Dean Rusk (US Secretary of State), Thomas Marshburn (he went on a few space flights with NASA), James Batten (CEO of Knight-Ridder), John Chidsey (CEO of Subway), and a few dozen more. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Davidson_College_people

Davidson grads go all over the world. Many Fulbright Scholars. Very high number go to grad school. Lots head to DC. And, there are quite a few on Wall Street, although Charlotte has a thriving financial services and banking sector. My DS went to work at a well known tech company in Northern California.[/quote]

Add William Styron, Vincent Foster, and GW Bush White House Press Secretary Tony Snow. I think Styron transferred to Duke, but whatever.

I've worked across the US and internationally (but never in NC) and Davidson has absolutely opened doors. I work in healthcare though, and one of Davidson's greatest strengths is preparing students for med school.[/quote]
