How prestigious is Davidson?

Many small schools have relatively poor name recognition, if you care about that sort of thing. Add the fact that it is in the south and not in the northeast where the bulk of “recognized” small LACs are, and you lose more recognition. Pomona also has poor name recognition among the general masses. If a school is small, is in less college-dense parts of the country and is not a big sports powerhouse, it won’t have great name recognition.
Davidson is already getting more selective. However, the location outside of Charlotte is not as big a draw for many kids as is the northeast.
