I forgot to update haha! I got accepted tho :)))
Hi. I am not in your situation, but I wanted to reach out re: your surprise having not known anyone denied in the past. I have a SD and this (Covid) year I know many of the schools she applied to reported receiving the highest amount of applications in their history. Elon was one of them. Combine that with the National recognition Elon has been getting year over year and the writing was on the wall that admission here would begin to get tougher. Even before the last two years being on top 100 lists the average GPA for Elon was 4.0. I would say reach out to admissions re: the silence and ask where deferred students stand. I know they are navigating a lot right now. Elon is a wonderful school (I have one there now). It is rigorous, but highly attentive. Best to you!

Thanks. I appreciate the feedback. He was waitlisted. It’s really fine. He has gotten acceptances from two top 40 universities and a top 30 LAC, two of which were his top two choices, to be honest. So he’s happy! The Elon WL makes no sense, given his stats and his other acceptances, so we’re just chalking that up to a possible yield decision on their end.
You are set, congrats! I am a firm believer in them ending up where they belong based on who “sees them”, wants them, and where the doors open. Both my kids have experienced that now. Sounds like you have all you need in spades. There are the tangible college elements and then the intangible elements. It’s all about “fit”. Your son seems to have nothing but good choices ahead. Enjoy it.

Were you on the waitlist?
Nope, accepted regular decision!
Was anyone waitlisted for Elon and does anyone know what movement looks like on the waitlist?
Do you happen to remember what kind of webinar it was?
