Chance me at Davidson

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>I'm from a public school in Texas and hope to apply ED to Davidson so I would like to know what my chances may be.
I have a 4.0 and I'm 22nd in my class out of 190 (not top ten percent but about top 12 percent). I have a 30 on the ACT. I have been an officer every year and I'm a member of UNICEF, Stuco, and a few more clubs. I'm involved at my church and I sing at Sunday services. On top of this I'm an active member in my school newspaper and pride myself on my ability to write-- so I think my essay is very good as well. I am also an EXTREMELY active equestrian and travel all over the country showing. I have been trying to stress on my application how I'm able to balance my frequent absences but still maintain a 4.0 because I think that shows I'm responsible and ambitious. Davidson seems like a great place for me but I know my ACT is on the lower side. So please let me know if I have a decent chance or not!</p>

<p>Davidson ED: Reach</p>

<p>Perhaps matches and safeties could be colleges with equestrian teams…</p>

<p>OP, it’s really hard to chance anyone for colleges really. Focus your energies on finding a good fit in all of the categories- reach, match, and safety colleges. Research the colleges statistics for their range of GPA and SAT/ACT scores. Find out what the college looks for in it’s applicants- do they value volunteering, would Texas be adding geographic diversity, etc… Go meet the college representative when they come to your town. ED is only a strategy that you use if you are sure that this is the place for you and you can attend financially. My S applied ED to his reach and it worked for him but not after an exhaustive search for the right fit. Good luck. Let us know where you land.</p>

<p>If you REALLY are 100% sure than you should have no regrets early applying. I would focus on your horse back riding!
