@Kerriloo Try this. When you click on Your Admission Decision and then the video comes up, click SKIP/CLOSE at the bottom of the video and it should take you directly to your decision letter.
I got in!!!
The fin aid award will come out the end of March. It is written in the acceptance letter.
waitlisted and staying onā¦
Daughter was accepted. She is very honored but needs merit $ to compete with other schools. We donāt qualify for financial aid but have told her we will only pay in-state public costs. Particularly with investments crumbling daily under COVID-19 news.
I really feel like Davidsonās campus/ small environment is the best place for her. Anyone know if the Kuykendall and Terry finalists have already been notified? We need to know whether to give up on merit dollars at Davidson or if there is still hope. Thanks for any information you can share. Good luck to all in these stressful times! I love seeing positive posts about happy kids who are receiving good news! Even with priorities shifting, these kids have worked hard and deserve to have it pay off. Best wishes!
Congrats to everyone accepted!! My D is a current sophomore ā happy to answer any questions.
For those WL, they do pull from it! My Dās roommate 1st year was accepted from the WL. So if youāre interested, let them know!
@Voiceonthecoast ā did you submit FAFSA and the Profile? We are a financial aid ābubbleā family and we were surprised two years ago to get more aid than we expected which put Davidson, barely, within financial reach. So wait for the award b4 you make your final decision!

Congratulations! It said in the acceptance letter that all merit had been given out already and recipients had been notified. Financial aid letters to go out by the end of March. Good luck!

@AlmostThere2018 thank you for the information! We did not submit the fafsa⦠I am wishing now that we had! We assumed we would not get any aid based on the website calculators at schools like Duke who are supposed to be generous. We have 3 kids, though, and have to consider that everything we do for our oldest we have to be willing to do for the other 2. And ultimately we could not send all 3 of them full price to a Davidson or Duke. We let her apply because she was applying for merit, but I have been amazed at how little merit there is out there. Makes sense when so many of these kids are incredible applicants. I can see you have a lot of experience on this site/ good advice, so please PM me if you have any more to share!
Well my D20 has decided to not go on the Davidson Waitlist. She already was acceptances at UVA, William & Mary (Monroe Scholar), U of Florida (Honors Program), FSU (Honors and freshman scholarship), Fordham (Full Scholarship & Honors Program) and still has a couple more that she is waiting to hear from. Funny how peoples perspectives change from the time when they apply to the many months later when they hear back. Davidson had been towards the top of her list but in the last few months for some reason it has fallen down her list. Interesting to see where she ultimately decides is best for her when this is all over. Best of luck to all in their college journey and hoping for my D20 as they say that she āends up where she is supposed to be!ā
@Voiceonthecoast I think I was wrongāthere is still some merit to be decided, it says in the letter. I think you still have a chance! If Iām reading the letter correctly, all merit will be decided by end of April. Sorry for the bad info.
I could see her acceptance. The issue was the Financial Aid Award Letter. The link was broken. I emailed them and it has been fixed. Surprised they are working on Saturday.
We were well pleased with her package.
@Kerriloo - you had a link to Davidson FA? Where? I donāt see it on my sonās portal. His letter said that FA would be determined by end of March.

I wish I could post a photo. On the page you get to when you login, below the āAdmitted students brochureā and āview your decisionā, there is another section called āFrom the Financial Aid Officeā. It had a link below āView Awardā and it took us to her letter.
@Kerriloo - I sent you a private message⦠thanks!
@Kerriloo Thanks! I didnāt see that link.
My son was waitlisted at Davidson but he is not going to remain on their list. He was fortunate to get into our stateās flagship school and is going to head there.
Congrats to all who were accepted. Davidson is an incredible school.
@neonpinklime I donāt see a financial aid link on my sonās acceptance ?
