<p>I realize that this question is premature as the finalists haven't been selected yet but I was wondering if it's possible to be selected as an Elon Fellow without attending Fellows weekend. My two main e.c.s have competitions during that weekend which will cause me to be unable to attend if invited. Should I still apply even if I cannot attend the Fellows weekend?</p>
<p>Yes it is possible, at least it has been over the last two years. Both of my daughters were selected as fellows (one honors, one Elon college) and could not attend the fellows weekend, so they traveled to Elon on a different weekend and wrote an essay, had an interview, etc. Ultimately they were selected. Another person I know, who lives in CA, was allowed to interview over the phone and complete an essay through email, and was also chosen as a fellow. Good luck!</p>
