Davidson Class of 2018 Regular Decision Discussion/Results

<p>@helloyesplease I think they were notified in the letter last year.</p>

<p>@jrmama496 and @FEMMOM - According to Davidson Admissions’s twitter (dcadmission), “If you met the fin aid deadline, should have an email from fin aid in a few hours with details.”</p>

<p>Also accepted :smiley:
2290, just under 4.0 (way above 4.0 weighted)</p>

<p>@Tanboyrunfast Thanks for the information! Let’s hope for good financial aid news!</p>

<p>Are people getting emails or what? Is there a portal?</p>

<p>@RayneDrops The portal is on the main admissions site! On the upper right side. </p>

<p>Received an email at 10:50 with the financial aid information. It seems like it’s a need-based grant. I assume that means he did not get a merit scholarship. Of course, not enough money for us. Looks like Davidson is out as well.</p>

<p>I’m in as well! No FA information though. </p>

<p>Accepted!!!
I thought I would be rejected becuase I was waitlisted at Colby/Grinnell!</p>

<p>Waitlisted…34 ACT 4.0 GPA, tons of volunteer hours, varsity swimteam 4 years, captain of swimteam senior year, ASB Committee head, Year round swim team, and even more, this is stupid </p>

<p>also had perfect act scores on both math and reading</p>

<p>Hey does anyone know when merit scholarships are announced?</p>

<p>Son Accepted!</p>

<p>Got my financial aid award, they want my family to pay 8000 dollars more than we can. </p>

<p>@AmericanHopee </p>

<p>That sucks! Was it just need-based, or did you get a merit award as well?</p>

<p>No, need-based, but apparently they calculated need very differently.
I’m thinking maybe they made a mistake with the travel allowance. It’s 100 dollars, and I have to fly in for 1200 dollars/roundtrip, at twoflights a year that’s very expensive. I wrote them an email. Hopefully they’ll increase my grant award a bit and I’ll do more work study than I have to. I’ll wait and see.</p>

<p>Rejected :(</p>

<p>I’m sorry :confused: Apparently they also had an increase in applications. Looks like the acceptance rate will be 18 % or so.</p>

<p>Still no email with financial aid… Is anyone else still waiting?</p>

<p>It was in my spam folder. Checked there? </p>

<p>They probably also need a lot of time to send out those 1000 emails. Maybe they started with last names beginning with A, or with 1***** zip codes, or whatever. Don’t worry! </p>

<p>So has anyone been invited to the (non-Belk) Scholar’s Weekend yet? </p>
