Davidson 2024 Waitlist

I was waitlisted at Davidson for the class of 2024 and am choosing to stay on. Does anyone have any knowledge about statistics or tips for the Davidson waitlist? :slight_smile:

I’m waitlisted too! So sad!

Given the Covid19 pandemic in the USA right now, there is much talk about schools expanding their acceptance percentages to cover some of the international spots that might not get filled. WSJ had an article just a couple of days ago. Might be worth an email or call to reinforce your desire to attend! Good luck.

Agree – I think COVID will end up impacting a number of college decisions with kids , perhaps more kids staying closer to home, for example. Davidson pulls from its WL every year; I suspect this year they (and others colleges) will even more.

So let them know if Davidson is your top choice!

My S is waitlisted too. I think COVID will also affect many students financially and they may chose less expensive options. Fingers crossed!

Has anyone heard back about their waitlist status?

I was told that I got in on a phone call, still waiting for the official offer to come out.

My daughter received a call last night that she was taken off the waitlist and accepted into the class.
