Davidson Class of 2028 Official RD Thread

I can’t remember, but I think it was there. If you didn’t apply for financial aid, it would make sense not to have one though. We did apply for $.

I do not. As I said, when I log in to my portal, sometimes I see a quick flash of the image I sent above. But then, (literally) in a second, all the extra stuff goes away, and my portal begins looking like the image wallflower14 sent (including the “Admissions Checklist” header instead of “Application Checklist”).

We did apply for FA but there’s no tan “FA” in my D24 portal.

I wish I could remember if it has always been there or if it’s a new thing. It’s possible it is a new thing…and yours could appear later. It might be a matter of whether it’s been input into the system yet.

Yes, they are working on that maybe. Still many hours before decision release

Don’t keep us in suspense :rofl:

What do you see when you click on these mystery tabs?

It opens up a side quest obv :roll_eyes:

:rofl: :joy: at least it breaks up the monotony

Nothing, they were entirely empty. I could click on them an hour ago, and now they have disappeared once more. Moreover, my financial aid tab is long gone, as well as my status. I’m getting a bit nervous tbh.

I wish we had your screen shot as the words “admitted student” appear. Alas, my son still just has application. Hope it is good news for you though :slight_smile:

My wife is an alumni and just received a call as a courtesy to let us know our daughter was admitted. Very happy, love the school for her. Good luck to everyone!

Congratulations! Out of curiosity, what does your daughter’s portal look like? Is it the same as the most recently posted pics above? Does the heading above the checklist read “Admission Checklist” or “Application Checklist: Under Review”?

Just received an email from Davidson about decision release. Did everyone get it? For some reason, I did not get one from them before

We got that email march 20th here.

Good luck to everyone! D21 &23 were both lucky to get acceptances. For them there was a slight pause before a video plays for accepted students and the login seemed “stuck” for a couple of seconds. We all are big fans of the school. I have met colleagues in various fields over the years who attended and they are very impressive people!

My son was accepted ED1 for 2028. My daughter 2025 is interested in attending Davidson as well. Do you feel it was beneficial from a legacy standpoint for your second child to get admitted? They have comparable stats.

We are not legacies at Davidson (and D21 picked Duke in the end). Just happened to have D21 learn about it fromher high school counselor and loved it. I had heard of it of course and knew people fromthere, but had never seen the campus until it came on D21s radar. D23 applied mainly because of how much we all loved it, and after an incredible tour day.

Same! My DD2025 fell in love with it after my DS2024’s tour. They are both unsure because it is a smaller school and do they really both want to be there:) Time will tell. It seems like a lot of siblings attend. I keep seeing it pop up for Davidson on various sites.

Edited—sorry—D21 picked Duke but she almost picked Davidson! Congrats to your student! It is a fantastic place.

Our portal has not changed overnight. Best of luck everyone!
