As well as the upward trajectory in grades over the years. I think Elon and Richmond are doable for someone looking for an easier admit to a Davidson-type school. I'd also look at High Point. Will definitely get in there. [/quote] Yikes! No to HPU. They’ve had accreditation issues. No comparison to the quality of education at a well-established school like Davidson. There are other much better and comparable suggestions in the thread.[/quote] Can you give examples of your concerns about High Point’s quality of education? [/quote] https://www.hpenews.com/news/accrediting-group-has-hpu-on-warning/article_b3128d57-c857-54e8-bff6-3024efdec96d.html [/quote] You said Davidson has better academics. What is inferior about High Point’s academic offerings? [/quote] Are you fuggin serious?[/quote] Yes. Can you seriously not provide specific examples? [/quote] Two links were posted. They are on year two of an accreditation warning not that anyone is choosing High Point for academics [/quote] The article says only one graduate program in education is currently being investigated. Have you done any actual research or do you just post news articles? [/quote] Personally, I wouldn’t feel comfortable shelling out money for a degree from an institution that can’t get their accreditation in order and are essentially on warning/probation. This points to much larger issues within HPU. Also, in terms of comparison with Davidson, HPU has a 61% 4 year graduation rate (65% 6 year rate), whereas Davidson is 88%/92%. These are entirely different student outcomes based on data, regardless of people’s anecdotal information. A fairly large percentage of HPU students, more than one-third, do not complete college and obtain a degree within 6 years.[/quote] What does a lower graduation rate tell us about academics at High Point? [/quote] Sorry you don’t understand the value of graduation rates as a factor in analyzing colleges. I see accreditation issues combined with low graduation rates as major red flags and warning signs![/quote] Why do they matter? Maybe classes at Davidson are easier?[/quote] :lol:[/quote] The graduation rate poster can’t articulate why that metric means Davidson is supposedly better [/quote]
