Vandy, Emory, UVA, GA Tech, UGA Honors (full scholarship). No schols at the others yet. Wait listed on UNC and Case Western.

Thanks for taking the time to share that!
My relationship with God is super important to me which is one the reasons I love it so much.

That’s so interesting to hear about that! I believe (though don’t quote me) that faculty are still technically required to be churchgoers, or at call themselves religious, but that definition is very relaxed and includes Jewish people for example.

As for the students, the most ‘severe’ rules are probably the two semesters of chapel and no LGBT or non-Christian religious orgs, which is very different from the 90s when I believe there was apparently a ban on dancing and even other religious schools I looked at like BYU where men aren’t allowed to grow beards unless they have a beard card!

I like how we keep it real here. Feels like on A2C there’s too much false positivity when the fact is that 96% of us will get rejected and that’s OK

Duke is one of the most LGBT friendly universities. They even had that extra prompt this year.

exactly - let’s all remember college admissions don’t define us and we can be successful no matter which college we go to!

Hate to say it but I have to wonder how much the school is LGBT friendly vs the student body
