[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Davidson is a great school but I wouldn’t say it’s materially more competitive than some of the others. The median 50% SAT is 1460, the same as Wake, same as W&M (1470).

Davidson (2000 undergrads) is also much smaller than Wake (5500 undergrads) and W&M (7000), [/quote]

Davidson is slightly harder, though not tremendously harder, than both of those. Visited all three and kids at Davidson just seemed "smarter" - can't explain how but they were.[/quote]

The data doesn’t support that, especially based on who they have admitted from our school.  I think you are confusing being serious or quirky with being smart.[/quote]

Our school is much different. YMMV. Don't generalize. And don't be a hater.[/quote]

Huh?  I’m not the poster insisting the kids look “smarter.”[/quote]

I'm also a different poster. Your post made no sense. And I don't disagree with them - if you talk to groups of kids at different schools, some will likely seem "smarter" than others. Not hard to figure out.[/quote]

If you talk to one or two students at each school, it definitely is insufficient to judge whether one student body is smarter than another.  But let’s be real, the parents are actually exchanging no more than a sentence or two with any students.  They said they students “seemed” smarter, going on vibes or some other nonsense.  Davidson is the easiest admit of any of the schools being discussed from our private.[/quote]
