Davidson College

<p>Does anyone have any experience or insight into Davidson College- in particular their womens swim team? My questions are: What types of times does someone need to have to be recruited on the team? Be considered for a scholarship? What grades, SAT's etc? How good is the team? The Coach, etc.. All the "usual " questions :)</p>

<p>If it helps, I'm trying to see if it's realistic for her to go to school/swim there as Davidson is "D1":</p>

<p>My daughter is a 3.9+ student (currently a HS Sophmore)
She is looking for a small, top quality college (preferably where its warm, but no farther then Virginia or N. Carolina or S.Carolina) - where she can major in pre-med & swim at a decently competitive D1 school.</p>

<p>In High School, so far:</p>

<p>Made all conference & all state both freshmen and soph years
Made YMCA Nationals - both short and long course- both freshmen and soph years
Made Eastern Zones (3 times); YMCA Regionals (multiples times)
Has 3 HS swim records ( 1 as an individual and 2 for relays)
USSS swimer in all big meets
Ranked Top 16 in CT (Backstroke)
She is a sophmore - will be 16 this year </p>

<p>On the right side of this page [Davidson</a> College Athletics](<a href=“Davidson College”>Davidson College) is a link to a pdf file with the team’s top 10 times for all events for this past season. It looks like your D would be quite competitive at Davidson. You might be better served posting on the athletic recruiting forum for more info. Good luck!</p>

<p>According to Davidson’s Common Data Set file, the college awarded 30 athletic scholarships to freshmen entering this year. That’s for all sports, for an entering class of 499 students. The average award amount was $14,137.</p>

<p>I was about to post a link to the same file cltdad cited. Yep, looks like your D would be quite competitive. But I don’t know how many of the 30 scholarships went to swimmers.</p>
