Waitlisted
S19 is in! Hamilton and Davidson both yes tonight!!
@homerdog So is Bowdoin the front runner or what schools are still in the running? How does the aid compare?
DD waitlisted.
congratulations @homerdog !!! What a fantastic night for you all!!!
waitlisted but am ok with it! sort of had made decision regarding davidson already based on other acceptances!
Accepted!! Congrats to everyone, no matter the decision, on hard work done.
Congratulations @assemblingphilosophies !
@citivas we are full pay so FA not really an issue. Grinnell came in with great merit but I think we are ok moving on from that. Right now, Bowdoin is the favorite. I’ve always thought it would come down to Bowdoin, Davidson, and Carleton (if he gets in).
@homerdog All awesome choices so no way to go wrong. That’s how it was for my son 3 years ago – we didn’t care which he picked because they were all great. I’ve become pretty familiar with the differences between Bowdoin and Davidson of late, so if you need specifics feel free to PM me.
Accepted!
Congrats!! @KayWhyBee
Sorry to ask this. Anyone can compare Davidson and Emory, please? I know one is a small LAC and the other a bigger university. When I compare a small and a bigger, what aspects should I consider? (again I am an immigrant … not much idea on the schools near the east coast)
Son did not get in, and is totally fine with it. Apparently there were over 6,000 applicants for 520 spots.
WOW! What a surprise DD is in!!!
Waitlisted at Davidson, but accepted to Johns Hopkins. Not sure what Davidson is looking for.
D accepted!!!
Daughter Waitlisted. 4th school this week. Glad she has options but find waitlisting very frustrating. Hard to plan. Davidson was one of her top choices and she was nominated for Belks. Congrats to those who got accepted.
@homerdog Congrats on all of the achievement by your son!! I’d like to ask a question. Most of schools your son applied are LACs. What aspects of LACs appealed to him and you? I know Vandy is one of his choices. If he is admitted to Vandy, he still would choose one among Davidson, Bowdoin and Carleton?
@singingbear he was always drawn to smaller schools but Vanderbilt is ranked highly both for undergrad teaching and happiness of students. And we know quite a few kids there and they all love it.
His priorities revolved mostly around interaction with professors and undergrad research opportunities. And a friendly, hard working, collaborative environment.
Hope that makes sense. We need to wait to see what else comes in for him to put things in order. He has visited Bowdoin, Carleton, and Davidson. Hasn’t seen Vandy.
