[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How does it compare to Davidson and W&L ?[/quote]

More than twice the overall student population yet same small class size plus power 5 sports.  My Deac claims they get a fair number of transfers from Davidson from kids who found Davidson too small.[/quote]
LOL! No one transfers from Davidson to WF -- that is just fantasy. Davidson has D1 sports across the board and a much higher caliber of student.[/quote]

It’s significantly easier to get into Davidson from the private schools my kids attend, just have to be in top half of the class if you ED, top third RD.[/quote]

Davidson had a 12.5% admit rate this year. Last year it was 14.5% vs 21.5% at WF. That's not even close. Your stats are pipe dreams.[/quote]

You don’t get it because you are a public school parent.  Slacs love private schools.  Once you get beyond the top 5 slacs, which doesn’t include Davidson, it’s pretty easy to get in the rest of the slacs from a top private.  It’s not just Davidson, it’s all of them.[/quote]
Very high stats kid from a VA private school rejected from Davidson for ED2. Was admitted to W&M and UVA RD. Did not apply to WF. This data is inaccurate for current admissions.[/quote]

It isn’t.  I have kids at two different single sex privates with reputations for rigorous academics.  Our schools have three to five kids get into Davidson each year and very few rejections.  This is for college grad years 2021-2024.  Only one of was in top 20 percent of class over four years, and about admissions.  If you look at the academic stats for Davidson admission as opposed to the acceptance rate, they are in the same range as national universities ranked T25 to T50, with a large percentage test optional (which is the case for most slacs and Wake Forest as well).[/quote]
