Does anyone know when or how they notify financial aid awards?
Congrats to everyone who got in!
Waitlisted: objective stats above 75th percentile SAT, above average GPA. Subjective: submitted music supplement, have a lot of leadership, recs are ? but probably good, went to a meet and greet. I’m guessing many of us waitlisted are byproducts of Davidson protecting its yield and the large part of the class they take ED. Again congrats to everyone who was accepted and for those who are on the waitlisted or rejected–keep your chin up you are still amazing students
Had 0 interest in going. Just applied for free application. Didn’t even complete financial aid forms, even though I need it. Was waitlisted–which I assume from lack of interest. I took myself off of it, so I hope those who want to go are able to! Best of luck!
@sunshinemiracle same here! waitlisted and will probably be attending unc chapel hill. 
I was accepted but will be declining as I have a full merit scholarship to UNC, good luck to those on the waitlist!
Does someone know when they announce financial aid awards? I would really appreciate some help jej thanks
Waitlisted. Disappointed since during the Multicultural Visitation Program, they basically said we’d get in…
Accepted! But I won’t be attending, so hopefully that’s another spot that will go to someone on the waitlist.
omg PeregrineFlute were you there too? I was also there! Spring or Fall? (I was spring!)
Waitlisted as well! Thank goodness for UVa, though in an ideal world (i.e. with 30k of financial aid) Davidson would be my first choice. Congratulations to all who were accepted
@sunshinemiracle UNC is a terrific school! If you’re instate, it’s even better because trust me, debt isn’t fun
@NervousShivers Oh, lol I was at the Fall session
@PeregrineFlute Ahh okay, well good luck on the waitlist!! Hope ya get in!
@penngirlpending @FichardRoster @ecrivain934 I cannot wait to see y’all there! I have a full ride with no loans, work study, and grants so I probably got covenant scholar and plus, I am in-state. I am just waiting for the letter for Director of Scholarships and Financial Aid.
To all who got accepted to Davidson: every proud of you and keep accomplishing!
