My D was fortunate enough to hear about her acceptance last night as she was notified about being a finalist for their creative writing scholarship. Good luck to all tonight!!
@elena13 How did your D find out? Was it in the portal? I applied for the same scholarship.
What is transferring to davidson like? do they accept very many or is it incredibly difficult?
I heard that they do not accept that many transfers @goblue8721.
I am so worried I am not going to get in and hopefully, I do get in. It is a longshot, but it was worth applying there.
Lol I keep checking my portal to see if decisions released early, but I know at 9:00 it’s going to be hard to muster the courage to check
I’m international and asked for a big fin aid package. What do you think about my stats? Do you think I might have a good chance? Davidson is one of my top choices.

@elena13; Looks like our daughters are interested in similar schools. She visited Davidson and fell in love with the school. She had me change her ED2 at another school to RD because of her visit to Davidson. She is happy at her acceptance to Richmond but is waiting anxiously for Davidson. Definitely two of her top three. Vanderbilt being the third.
Wow @jcwjnw99! Good luck to her. It would be wonderful to have all those to choosd from!
@sunshinemiracle - She was called last night by one of the English professors.
@elena13 That is great!
@Diego0115 I think they are great - way better than mines for sure!
@sunshinemiracle Thank you!! 
I really hope you do get in. But as I said, big fin aid so… fingers crossed.
@Diego0115 I hope so because I love Davidson and visiting there was breathtaking! My stats were considered low but I am not letting that stop me. My stats are on the very first page of this thread if you want to look but for an update:
My GPA is now 4.4698 out of 5. My class rank is now: 6/163. I also do online tutoring now but this is just what I was recently told and do.
