<p>My D received the written invite in the mail two days after the email. Also, know that if you cannot make it on Mar 2-3, there is an option via the online RSVP to reschedule for this month. When the “Unable to attend” response is selected, you are directed to the rescheduling information.</p>
<p>2in2Mom – Yes. My D received a large envelope (postmarked Jan. 27th), with a fancy invitation/schedule of events, and an additional information sheet. You might want to check with the school…</p>
<p>We received the big envelope in the mail on Monday of this week.</p>
<p>Yes, my D received an info packet that contained a certificate. I wasn’t there when she opened the mail, but I assume it came in a large envelope because there are no creases in the certificate.</p>
<p>Finally made our travel arrangements for Fellows Weekend.</p>
<p>Did you receive the packet after you registered? or do they send whether you registered or not - Thanks!</p>
<p>I think the packet came after we registered, though we did register right away.</p>
<p>Same here, bubmom.</p>
<p>For some more insight on the Fellows candidates selection read the Deans blog:
[From</a> the Dean’s Desk](<a href=“http://elonadmissionsdean.■■■■■■■■■■■■■/]From”>http://elonadmissionsdean.■■■■■■■■■■■■■/)
The numbers:
Fellows applications received this year: 1664
54% of applicant pool was invited to Fellows weekend
(Of those invited, the average combined GPA was 4.57 with a 2046 SAT (32 ACT).)
Students who will come to the Fellows weekend: over 600
The number of Fellows spots available : 205</p>
<p>Good luck to all the Fellow candidates. The Fellows candidate weekend helped my son decide that was where he wanted to be whether or not he was selected as a fellow. I hope it does the same for many of you.</p>
<p>^^after reading that it occurred to me that there are students who are offered fellows after the weekend who attend other colleges…(we know a number from last year who are elsewhere)</p>
<p>So Is the 205 the number available? Or the number who are actually attending?</p>
<p>And one more thing…if you attend the weekend, are you automatically an alternate if you are not chosen?</p>
<p>Just things for those on here to think about…</p>
<p>If you are selected as an alternate you you will notified of it-not everyone who does not make it is an alternate.</p>
<p>I can’t speak about all the different Fellows programs but I believe for Leadership Fellows there is usually 5 designated as alternates and most years they dip into those kids. (My son was an alternate)</p>
<p>However last year everyone that was chosen for Leadership decided to come.</p>
