Yes let’s make this more active for sure! But definitely no one be too nervous. Remember that everyone has something they are insecure about!
But I absolutely love Davidson! I almost applied ED but was worried about the distance from home is all. It’s a great school and I would love it there! Hoping for the best, and good luck everyone!
@jkgreen27 – South Florida here, too! And also literally borderline rank. Like I was 58 of 630 but when all the early enrollment kids’ GPAs went in I fell out of top 10% (currently top 10.9% to be exact) despite my weighted GPA going up. Well, that and a C in calc. Very nervous that that mid year report took me out of the running. :-/
My stats:
29 ACT (34E, 29R, 27M, 25S, 29 Essay – very uneven; never once completed any section but for writing and essay)
1320 new SAT, submitted bc of my strong Essay score (22 of 24) but I don’t think they even look at that, or at least not closely
Focused ECs with leadership about which I am passionate and which relate to my majors of interest
High demonstrated interest (visited three times and did the individual info session)
Solid essays, though “Why Davidson” could have been better (read a little choppy and in hindsight it was a bit gimmicky)
High rigor (11 AP’s and 5 Dual Enrollment and all others honors)
Great recs I think (esp peer by my friend at a peer LAC – how great is it that they request this?)
URM
Anyway, good luck to us all. This is definitely my top choice. Couldn’t apply ED bc of financial aid uncertainty and really hope that didn’t drastically hurt my chances (esp due to that mid year report).
@edgeook8
South Florida applicant too!
@Shabeezy We’re representing! I will ignore the fact that the two other SoFla applicants here have higher stats than me… haha. Good luck to us all!
@edgeook8 omg the same thing with DE happened to me cause I’m really into rotc and am high ranking and have to take two periods so I can’t de this year like last
Where everyone from in sofla I’m in broward in Cooper City
@edgeook8
Well I’m an international applicant requesting full financial aid so …
no chance really
@Shabeezy SAME!!
What is Davidsson’s policy for aid for international students?
Broward too! I’ll message you more specifically – I don’t want to be found out. 
@londondad Davidson has been on a campaign for financial and international expansion so I would assume they would be better than most LAcs
@londondad From the Davidson website:
During the admission process for international applicants, we are not need-blind but we do commit to meeting 100 percent of the calculated financial need for those admitted. Financial aid is limited and competitive; international students seeking financial assistance must apply for aid at the time of applying for admission, and by the deadlines indicated.
hope it comes out this week
Hey guys! I emailed Davidson and they said that decisions would definitely come by 1st April and if everything goes by plan, they would like to release decisions around 22nd March.
After my email inquiry, I was given the same target date…the evening of the 22nd.
Yup, it is up on their portal with decisions coming out March 22nd at 9:00 EDT.
Ugh this week is going to go on forever!!
@goblue8721 It seems to be going faster because of the daylight savings time change in most areas; however, this week will be a painstaking one as the final college admissions decisions are close.
What majors did everyone apply for?!
