lol.

Davidson isn’t really that popular, even here in North Carolina. I went to high school about 20 min away, and only two people in my IB program applied, and none went. Its caliber is definitely on par with Duke and other top schools, especially in the sciences and English (but way too close to home for me!), so I’ve yet to figure out why it can’t seem to get name-recognition.

I do know that in North Carolina it’s still trying to live down its reputation as a conservative school for bankers and doctors.

This is where prestige (Davidson is definitely prestigious) and name-recognition are different.
