ED Liberal Arts Chances

Colleges and Universities A-Z Davidson College
1

Hey guys! So I applied to Davidson College ED and am wondering what my chances are.

AP Scores: Took AP World History but didn’t send the score

IB Courses (2 year courses): HL History of the Americas, HL English, HL Chemistry, SL Bio, SL Math, ToK, SL Spanish

My GPA is 3.97/5.1413

Class Rank: Don’t give out, but I was a Junior Marshall, so at least top 10% of the IB class

I took the ACT in December and got my scores back. Scored a 31 Composite (31 E, 30 M, 30 R, 31 S) and this was my first time taking it. I took the SAT September of my sophomore year and scored a 1650 (ouch) and will NOT be taking anything relating to this.

Letters of recommendations
They are personal and show my personality as well as academic success

Hooks: None. White male medium class.

I’ve shown a lot of interest in the school and did a senior overnight and have met my admissions counselor twice.

With the caveat that chancing is really worthless, I would say that you have a decent chance. So much depends on how you present yourself in the application; hopefully you expanded upon some of your ECs and interests. It is good that you have clearly expressed interest.

Best of luck! You’ll know shortly.

@wstrav Did you get admitted?

I did attend Davidson many years ago. However, I believe you meant to ask @camtheman98 if he was admitted.

@wstrav Whoops sorry about that!
