I received an invitation to apply to the Fellows programs. In going through the application it says" Students may apply for a maximum of two programs, only one may be school-based"
I was wondering if anyone knows the difference between Honors Fellow versus the Elon College Fellows?
thanks!
I hate to be that person who points you to a link, but with the exception of a person who has attended both programs or the administrators or each program, you are likely going to get the best information by reading all the info on their website. That is what I did and it is rather informative. Good Luck in your research and potential application.
Agree that there is good information on the website. I have 2 kids who applied for Fellows programs; one was accepted and one was not. (neither were the programs kenmel is asking about.) My advice is to apply to the program or programs of most interest, and then ask A LOT of questions at Fellows week-end if you are invited. Each program has a reception where you are encouraged to interact with current fellows. Since each program has its own structure, requirements, and culture, it’s important to engage with those students to learn more.
My S, who was invited to Fellows week-end but not accepted into his chosen program, was in the end very glad that he wasn’t - it would not have been a good fit for him. My D, however, is loving her experience and fellow Fellows. For the school-based programs (especially Business, Teaching and Comm), it’s important to have a passion for studying that field. Some kids in my D’s program are thinking about changing majors, and hence giving up their Fellows position.
My S’s girlfriend was an Elon College Fellow and enjoyed her experience, but I don’t know much about what it entailed. She was an English major.
Anyone anxiously waiting for the release of invitations for the fellowship programs today??
hey there, can you please post your comments in the other Fellows thread so that we can consolidate the info? Thanks. Here it is: http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/elon-university/1854073-official-c-o-2020-fellows-applicant-info-discussion-thread.html#latest
