<p>I had a high school classmate who got into Davidson EDII with a GPA/rank worse than yours, less APs, much less impressive ECs, and a standardized testing score within your range (she took the SATs and got around a 2050, which I believe is around a 29). Based on this case, I would say that you've got a great shot. I know what you mean about your ACT being a bit low, but you look to have fantastic ECs and awards which could definitely help you.</p>

<p>bump, please</p>

<p>bump, any other ideas or suggestions??</p>

5

<p>bump, I'm freaking out.</p>

<p>I'd say it's a match/high match. I know someone who got in with less impressive stats than you have. She's a minority, though.</p>

<p>You will be admitted, in my opinion. Too many positives. Your ACT score of 29 equals a 1285/1600 SAT which is above Davidson's 25th percentile of accepted SAT scores.</p>
