<p>I know theres only 1 per class, but I was wondering if anyone knows how competitive it is for this scholarship? As in, average number of people applying for it, and is the decision entirely portfolio based? Is it also academics based?</p>
<p>I also had a question about the arts at Davidson in general. I guess I'm considering more "liberal" schools across the board, but theres something about Davidson that has attracted me to it since the beginning. I'm basically an atheist (yet go to a VERY conservative catholic school), and the last thing I want is to feel "artistically boxed in." I've read here that whatever the guidebooks and stuff say about Davidson being the far right wing conservatives isnt as extreme as they say, but how about for the arts? I havent had a chance to visit yet, but any general information about how open-minded students are or how well received the arts are at Davidson would be much appreciated. thanks.</p>
