[quote=Anonymous]They’re both great! I would encourage your DD to apply to both. Show lots of DI for Wake. visit if you can, and do as many on-line events as they can. And write very specific and thoughtful supplements showing that they dug into the website and understand Wake’s academic priorities and values (small class size, interesting leadership research institute, excellent Wake-specific study abroad programs etc.)

I’ll add that our DC also loved Davidson. It was a surprise - DC wasn’t looking for a small school, but they liked Davidson’s inclusive + athletic vibes, and the abundant out-of-class academic opportunities. Maybe that last part is true of all small schools with strong academics, but it seemed like there were a TON of great opportunities to go around without any of the grindy, competitive culture DC is hoping to avoid.

I’d recommend flying in to Charlotte, seeing Davidson (20 minutes from the airport?) and the surrounding area (cute town, lake/beach property owned by the school). Then drive up to see Wake the next day. Can either fly back from Winston-Salem or come back down to Charlotte.

May also want to see Elon, too, while you’re near Wake. We didn’t visit but have heard good things. It might be more of a safety for a kid who considers Wake and W&M to be targets, but I’m not sure.[/quote]
