DD is applying to Davidson. Her SATs are not her strong point (650math, 580 verbal, 650 writing), but her class rank is top 5% and her GPA is 3.87. She has excellent ECs (strong commitment to music, with state ranking as an oboe/English horn player), and four year swim team member (not competitive in Div. 1, but strong commitment none the less). Recommendations were excellent, with strong course load including two APs and a dual Community college credit/hs credit course in Anatomy/Physiology this year. She already has a five on the AP course she took last year. She loved Davidson…knows it is a HUGE reach…HUGE. But as she said…she won’t “break” if she doesn’t get accepted.
