Davidson has always been a good school. It took people in the NE a while to realize that, but it's always been very in demand among southerners.
+1 Davidson has never taken mostly B students, even when those grades used to place one around the top 1/3. Davidson 30 yrs ago got a lot of cross applications and admits w Duke and Vanderbilt and UNCCH. 30 yrs ago, mid90s, UNCCH in state from one of the better public high schools, essentially required top 10%. Davidson did too , and often took the slightly higher subgroup. Duke has always favored NC students: the ones admitted from the better publics were top 3-5%.
Mostly Bs is a middle to bottom half kid at all but a very few strict-grading privates.
That kid in NC would be Unc greensboro, Elon, App state, sewanee these days. In the northeast Ursinius, Union, Lehigh?
