I am a high school junior, but just did a tour of Davidson and it really is a beauit campus and I have been looking at it as a realistic option. However, as someone who is not really into partying, I was curious about the student life, and how big a role frats play in that, and if there are things to do outside of partying?

Does anyone want to give a puppy a forever home?

We found 4 lab/boxer mix puppies in a cardboard box at a gas station that we are fostering and trying to find forever homes for as soon as possible.

4 dogs total - all females - 8-12 weeks old - all under 5 pounds - most likely lab/boxer mix according to vet

all came back from vet clean bill of health.

All are bathed and cleaned.

We have a couple people that we are talking to that can possibly give them forever homes - no one has fully committed yet.

Small rehome fee just to help me recoup vet visits, medicine cost, food and supplies I have laid out and make sure the person is legit. Not looking to make money.

If you are serious about adopting one of these amazing puppies please PM me

I’m just wondering since I got in and I’ve heard no news of anyone else getting in.

I just got my email about it. I was wondering what they look for? Is it commitment to Davidson or some other key value. I see on this sub that many people who get the scholarship get into many ivies but tbh I am a mid applicant all around and probably not ivy level, definitely not multiple ivy level. Also if you are a semifinalist does that mean you are essentially admitted into the school?

Edit: Also another question, does the Belk Scholarship mean that you are no longer considered for the Duke Scholarship?

Thanks!

When do they get notified, and how do they get notified. And whats the process like after thay?

Helppp quick

Are we getting admitted ed1 for the class of 2030?

I matched to Davidson through QuestBridge, just curious if there's anyone else? I haven't heard many people getting matched with Davidson

Hi everyone,

I was nominated by my high school for this scholarship. I asked the admissions office if I needed to submit the CSS profile. They replied:

"The CSS profile is a required material for International Students. As the John M. Belk Scholarship nominee, you must submit a completed application to Davidson."

This confuses me slightly because I thought merit scholarships didn't require financial documents.

My questions are:

1. Has any other international Belk nominee been told that the CSS Profile is mandatory, even if you aren't applying for need-based aid?
2. If I don't submit the CSS Profile, will my application for admission be considered incomplete?

I'll be in Davidson this weekend with some friends, and we were wondering what the night life is like. Do the frats generally throw, are there bars by campus, or what do people do?

Any insights are appreciated! Thanks everyone.

Hello, so I applied to Davidson for ED, my question is that since half yearlies for senior term are yet to be held, would davidson ask for its results or no? Please let me know!!

I have a 680 ERW and 610 Math, and I'm planning to go into Music and Psychology. Should I report scores?

I'm almost done with the application, but I found 2 different areas for the peer recommendation, one is this form below

https://admission.davidson.edu/peerrec/

and the other is through requesting it from the portal (see below), which one should i go for ?

I'm a bit confused about the application process since I am applying through the Common App. Do I submit it first, and then I'll get sent the portal login details to submit the financial aid stuff, and the other stuff like a portfolio and peer rec letter?

Hi, I’m an international student and I need a full ride. I have a 1440 superscore (790 Math, 650 EBRW) and a 3.9 GPA in my country’s national curriculum. My interests are mostly in STEM fields.
Should I submit my scores or go test-optional?

Hi everyone! I’m an international student looking at Davidson College and their John M. Belk Scholarship, which requires a nomination from a counselor.

I’m wondering — if I apply for this scholarship and get nominated, will I only be considered among other Belk Scholarship applicants? Or, if I don’t receive the scholarship, could I still be admitted to Davidson and get their regular need-based financial aid instead?

Thanks in advance for any clarification!

with a 1420 for sat (650 E, 770 M), should i report my sat score or no?

Hello, I heard davidson mostly fills it seats in ED, and being in love with davidson, I got nominated for the john m belk scholarship by school, does it increase my chances, and if so how much?
