[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If anyone has a HS junior with a strong interest in attending Davidson, there might be a secret sauce to improving their chances of getting admitted-- Davidson's July Experience program where rising seniors live on campus and take 2 classes taught by Davidson professors. July Experience has been put on hold since 2020 but hopefully will start up again next summer. The program gives high school students a taste of what the college experience is like at Davidson, and Davidson gets to evaluate potential applicants up close and personal for 3 weeks. In the past, the great majority of students who successfully completed JE and later applied early decision were admitted.[/quote]

Unfortunately, Davidson has done away with July Experience for good.  It was a great program and my daughter attended the last July Experience in 2019. JE changed her life b/c she chose to apply ED to Davidson and just graduated. She absolutely loved her 4 years there. She and most of her friends have all found employment all over the East Coast with one taking a job in LA. Wonderful school with a strong focus on the student experience! It's growing in popularity and acceptance rates will likely approach Williams, Amherst, Swarthmore levels in the very near future. The Class of 2028 supposedly had an acceptance rate around 12%. We'll miss being Davidson parents.[/quote]
I hope it does, too! I would love for my DC to be able to apply for the July experience. It looks like it's currently still canceled though:
