Our son is applying this summer for Fall of 2018 along with seven other schools. Our daughter will be applying to 10 Physical Therapy schools at the same time. Not going to be a fun summer in our house!!!
Would like to have our son get a jump start on some of the application essays.
Can anyone send me Elon’s application essay question(s) from this year? Would greatly appreciate it!!! Any he can get off the to-do list would help tremendously.
Thanks!
If you join the Elon ADMISSIONS Facebook page you can find the essays from years past. They usually post them around the 30th of July, two days before the actual current application goes live. It is my understanding that the essays vary every year and you will not know the essays for the Fall 2018 application until August 1st of 2017 (or two days before on Elon Admissions FB page).
I’m curious… as my daughter will also be applying to Elon, I am wondering to what other schools your son is applying. My DD is only really looking at Miami of Ohio and College of Charleston.
Our son is applying to Elon, Univ of South Carolina, JMU, Duquesne, Widener and Arcadia. We live in PA. Our daughter is a junior at Elon this year. So we are familiar with the school and we all fell in love with the South since she has been there. Elon is 2nd on his list. U of SC is his 1st. He is interested in majoring in Sports Management and really wants a southern school. He’s not thrilled with applying to the same school that she attended. Although, she was a totally different major. So we are trying to spin it from that aspect.
Have you visited the College of Charleston? Only heard of it a few times. Any feedback on that would be great. Maybe we can add that to the mix
@dacri12 I highly suggest you check out both College of Charleston and Miami of Ohio. Miami more academically on par with Elon (perhaps ahead? not sure) and Charleston a safety, but a GREAT safety. Stunning campus (like all 3) and amazing city. Worth checking out for sure!
Enclosed you will see links to admission says for Elon and CofC. CofC is a public liberal arts focused college in Charleston SC. They have a great Honors program. Lots of undergrad research opportunities . They also have a close relationship with the Medical University which provides volunteer opportunities and research opportunities. @dacri12 it may not be the best fit for your son as there is no football and they don’t offer his major, but it is a Division 1 school in the CAA and has well ranked basketball, baseball and has the number one ranked sailing program. If anyone has any specific questions , feel
free to PM. My son is a freshman in the Honors College and is a William Aiken Fellow. He is a Computer Science/ Data Science double major and couldn’t be happier.

@college582 My daughter also applied to Elon, CofC, & Miami (Ohio). She also applied to UVM & Rollins. As soon as she visited Elon though, she knew it was her top choice. Make sure you visit as many as you’re able to- it really helps you compare & will help your daughter figure out what she’s looking for in a school.
@kempette Elon was our first fisit. Fell in love. Hitting Miami of Ohio and C of C in April
