[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Davidson would love more DCPS and DCPCS but preferences matter, and they just don’t apply. Plenty of private applicants, plenty of athletes. Not a lot of kids from JR, Walls, or Banneker let alone DCI or BASIS. Honestly Dartmouth and Brown feel the same way. [/quote]

I’ve never heard of Davidson. [/quote]

Without judgment, I’d just say that is an indicator of your socioeconomic class. [/quote]

I think it’s not well known outside of the south.

I never heard of it until I moved to VA.

I grew up in the Northeast and went to a well-regarded private school. We knew of Davidson and it was considered a strong SLAC that a lot of kids applied to, at least among the kids who were considering the south. [/quote]

I’m not sure it’s as good as it used to be but it was the only SLAC I was looking at with D1 sports- I was looking at Duke, Vandy, Northwestern, or even a UC where I would ride pine (also Yale, but that’s a whole saga where they decided, quite intentionally, to be bad at my sport).

It was in the same set at the Claremont schools and Carleton, but not quite Williams or Smith.

I don’t get the sense that any of the kids I talk to want to go there over Georgetown or Duke and honestly that’s fine.[/quote]
