[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think Denison sounds like a great fit. The new Eisner Performing Arts Center is beautiful. My DD is an Environmental Studies major and is taking an art class this semester. She just started, but we have been really impressed so far. It's a beautiful campus (quite a few new buildings), and although the drive is about 6 hours from our home, it's a nice drive (scenic and mostly no traffic). The admittance rate this year is 22%, but I think many of the schools' admittance rates have become more selective since COVID. They also offer great merit. Other schools she considered: Lafayette, Bucknell, Elon, Rollins, Dickinson, W&M ...

Odd that the fast facts page on the Denison University website never reveals the number of students enrolled at the school.[/quote]

Denison's fast facts page is always wonky to me--I go by CDS because that includes waitlist numbers and other factors that convey information more clearly.   Their 20-21 acceptance rate was 28% and they are test optional and only 28% submitted SAT scores--so don't worry that their SATs look high-ish.  Also they seem to be more lenient on GPA than other competitive LACs--in 20-21 roughly 71% were in the top 10% of their class, 88% in top 25% and 100% in top half.  So this is a good school for strong students interested in a LAC--they don't have to be at the very top.  So they are attracting a segment of students where there are a lot of kids --above average grades and scores, but not the highest.   So it seems like there could be more unpredictability in admissions (schools that accept the top 10% of scores and GPA you kind of know what your chances are if you have those scores) so you'd want to express interest.
