[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Washington and Lee tends to attract a similar profile, but not an easy admission target [/quote]

Yes.

Washington and Lee is pretty much Davidson sans D1 athletics. W&L is a slightly higher ranked SLAC ( USNWR) but is a little less competitive in admissions versus Davidson.  If the OP's DC is strong enough to be recruited at the D3 level,  W&L might be worth a look.[/quote]

Is Davidson as conservative as Washington & Lee? And as full of old Southern families with lots of money? [/quote]

I have one at Davidson and it isn't as conservative as W&L (we looked at both). The PP is right about it being a difficult job to find something similar. Unique characteristics: D1 sports in small community, niceness is especially valued (during the first visit home the first year, I heard "even the jerks are nice!"), easy climate, SLAC that is accessible (quick Uber to Charlotte/airport), subtle greek life. [/quote]

Agree wholeheartedly.  I have a kid at Davidson and character counts with their admissions office. They unofficially seem to have a no jerk policy.  For insight into the admissions process at Davidson, read Jeff Selingo's Who Gets in and Why book.  Davidson is one of the 3 schools in the book that granted him access to the admissions process.[/quote]
