I’ve got a 6’5" basketball player S. I also am trying to get him to take a closer look at WLU. It doesn’t fit on his radar screen because it is rural and too small. Yet he’ll consider Davidson because a friend of his in the class before him went there from his small hs (total enrollment of 240–60 in a class) … the adcom rep visits his school shortly.

He doesn’t like winter. He likes the south. He’s conservative and preppy. Has had enough religious indoctrination to last a lifetime so no religious affiliated colleges. While he hasn’t taken his SAT/act , his SATII Chem was 710 (which on these boards is laughable but in the real world is better than some think)–so I think he’ll have the brains to make a reasonable run if he wants to applly.

I think all you can do is lead a horse to water. I’m hoping that it’s like his choice of hs–the one he is at wasn’t even on the radar screen til the last moment. He interviewed and I was asked in. I was totally blown away by comparing it to my alma mater and said–if you don’t go here, you’re out of your mind.
