<p>I'd say you've got a great chance. Pretty sure you'll get in - just make sure you do well in your SATs, which doesn't look like it'll be a problem. :) Are you planning to apply for Fellows?</p>

<p>What's Fellows?</p>

4

<p>Are you planning on applying as a Junior Scholar since you're in-state? </p>

<p>Based on your GPA and activities I think Elon is a match.</p>

<p>Iderochi: I don't think I can apply as a Junior Scholar since the deadline is Feb. 10th and I haven't even taken the SAT or ACT yet (planning on taking SAT in March) </p>

<p>srsx3: I will probably apply for the Isabella Cannon Leadership Fellows Program</p>

<p>Ok. I'm fairly certain you'll get it, too. Probably a Pres. scholarship, as well, come to think of it. Good luck! I applied for the Elon College and Honors Fellows, myself. So cross your fingers for me! :) Three more weeks until I find out of I'm a contender! </p>

<p>Oh, by the way, Iderochi, you might know. It's a bit premature, but after the Fellows interview, etc. how long is it until you find out if you've gotten it? The scholarship, that is. Do you find out with the RD applicants (who didn't apply for Fellows,) or do you know sooner?</p>

7

<p>No personal experience with Fellows, but I do think you find out sooner than the RD decisions.</p>

8

<p>It would be great to get some scholarships and I hope to get into one of the Fellows programs if I apply.</p>

<p>Okay, thanks! I hope so. I'm literally counting the days. Sort of pathetic, but I hate waiting and that gives me some comfort. :)</p>
