<p>MomsterofM - I realize that this is the Elon thread, but just wanted to clarify that the criteria for the Saturday In the Square really are unclear. It is said that it is being sent to a select group of top students Tisch wants to convince to matriculate at NYU, however this select group is not all "driven by academics". I know of applicants in past years with a "fairly low GPA" that were invited, and others, with higher scores, who have had to wait for "regular acceptances". My guess is that there are multiple factors (leadership, heavy extra-curricular involvement?) in the applications, that prompt that selection. </p>
<p>Back to Elon, Elon has become increasingly competitive. It is now also on Princeton or Newsweek's list of "hot schools" :), not just for MT, but for many other reasons. This may explain the waitlist a bit.</p>
<p>Thanks, everyone, for all your explanations.</p>
<p>Now one more question, please. If the school and MT are considered separately (as I seem to understand from your posts), will MT still consider her for one of their spots if she has this waitlist? Or does she have to "get off" the waitlist academically before she could be considered in MT?</p>
<p>Since Elon had such a high percentage of MT students accepting their acceptances last year, I doubt that they would take kids off of a "MT waitlist".</p>
<p>I'm not panicking, just curious. Elon is very high on her wanted school list.</p>
<p>I don't have the specific answer to your question as it relates to Elon. Each school is different and the best thing to do is to ask them directly how that works.</p>
<p>From what I hear, there is no information regarding acceptance/rejection to the Elon MT program that you can log on to. The student will find out most likely by phone this week (acceptance), or by mail.</p>
<p>Everything on the ON TRACK system relates to the academic undergraduate acceptance to the school ONLY. This means acceptance, rejection, waitlist, etc. </p>
<p>As you all know, a student can be accepted to the MT program, but not accepted to the school--which apparently has happened. More frequently, though, the student is accepted academically to the achool, but not to Elon MT. I was informed that Elon did not take a single person off of their wait list from last year. </p>
<p>I do not know what would happen, though, if a student was accepted to the MT program, but waitlisted academically. Does anybody know what would happen in this situation?? Just curious.</p>
<p>I have sent an email to Kimberly asking about it. I'll let you all know whatever I find out.</p>
