[</em>] Summer Activities: Dance, volunteering, college classes
[<em>] Essays: My common app was risky, and I put a lot of effort into the Davidson one. I think they were both really good.

<p>[/ul]Reflection</p>

<p>Strengths: GPA and ACT, leadership</p>

<p>Weaknesses: potentially risky essays, but I guess they liked them</p>

<p>Why you think you were accepted/waitlisted/rejected: I showed a lot of interest, which is really important to Davidson. I visited campus twice, sat in on a class, had a non-evaluative interview, contacted my admissions rep, and applied for the Belk. I think that probably helped. </p>

<p>Where else were you accepted/waitlisted/rejected: I was also accepted to Northeastern University (full tuition scholarship), UNC Chapel Hill, American University (20k merit) and University of Florida</p>

<p>General Comments: If I could afford Davidson, it would be my first choice. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that there is a scholarship in the financial aid letter. But either way I feel very honored to be accepted! :)</p>

<p>[/ul]Reflection[ul]
[<em>] Strengths: Essays, grades and recommendations.
[</em>] Weaknesses: Math scores, senior course load.
[<em>] Why you think you were accepted/waitlisted/rejected: I think those extra fine-arts electives instead of more academic electives or AP’s may have hurt me in my senior course load, but no regrets. Also, I don’t know if they were looking for someone with more academic extracurriculars, but I put a lot of hardwork in the theatre department, so I definitely wasn’t being lazy. But those math scores… I know those definitely hurt me rather than helped me.
[</em>] Where else were you accepted/waitlisted/rejected: Accepted: American University, Furman University, University of Texas (Plan II Honors Liberal Arts College and McCombs Business School), and Baylor University (Honors College). Waitlisted: Washington University in St. Louis. Waiting on: College of William and Mary, Emory University, and Amherst College.</p>

<p>[/ul]General Comments: I am disappointed, but looking back, I don’t think this would have been the right school for me. While I value a rigorous education, I don’t want to spend my entire college career stuck in my room studying, which, from what I’ve heard from friends who go there, is exactly what happens. Also I want a school with a good theatre department, which Davidson doesn’t really have. Congrats to those who were accepted and good luck to those who were waitlisted!</p>

<p>Rejected.</p>

<p>I was kind of shocked I was rejected. At a glance: ACT 31, UW GPA 3.75, rank top 10.2% (my HS is well-known, above average, 2400 students- 750 in my class),</p>

<p>I’m from MN, URM(asian).</p>

<p>TONS of volunteer work. Mission trips to MX (w/leadership), Raised $18K from speaking at Rotary clubs to go to Africa and build a school, frequent help with food shelves/drives</p>

<p>Pretty decent ECs. top band out of 4 and president of it. “Varsity” Mathlete, Tennis, theatre, Church Camp counselor, NHS, SADD (All these were done all 4 years of HS)</p>

<p>Great Recs. </p>

<p>My {very tough] english teacher loved my common app essay, i thought it was pretty good, too. Short answer was okay.</p>

<p>Senior year AP spanish AP stats, AP lit, psych, band, econ (i know not too strong, but my HS is difficult!)</p>

<p>Not many great awards. Athletic letters, Academic letters, multiple music awards.</p>

<p>what else…</p>

<p>my fam does have mid-low income… maybe that hurt me?</p>

<p>I’m not too hurt, just kind of surprised!</p>

[</em>] Where else were you accepted/waitlisted/rejected: Accepted Rhodes, Vassar. Haven’t heard from anywhere else yet.</p>

<p>Prospectives for 2016: Davidson doesn’t offer interviews, so you MUST show interest by contacting local representatives and visiting campus, and talking to the Rep if he/she visits your school.</p>
