How is Davidson for Physics and Economics

amplifiar842

There are no shoe-ins, but you're on the right track, for sure!

Davidson's physics department is not it's strongest, but it's still very good. Davidson has an incredible program for economics, though. Both of those are considered among the hardest majors Davidson has to offer!

You'll probably want to have a really strong senior year and show a lot of interest. You have good EC's, but the GPA and scores are a little low for Davidson (although, scores aren't really a factor in admissions).

I think you will really stand out! Especially with your really impressive volunteer work. Keep studying hard but don't let your numbers stress you out too much because you have already established yourself very well with your EC's. If you show a lot of interest and send e-mails to admissions counselors and professors, they will definitely take a second look at you.
