<p>2,000?! oh my goshh, and here i thought my town of 15,000 was small hahah </p>
<p>but yessss only 4 more days!!</p>
<p>hey guys! sorry i was away all day with relatives blahh</p>
<p>as i said before on my stats, ive done a lot with swimming over the last four years. i might join elon’s club swim team depending on how competitive/intense it is because im not looking to do a super competitive and time consuming swim team. or, most likely, i might do an intramural sport of something ive never really done before, like ultimate frisbee or flag football. and i would love to do a community service kind of club at elon too</p>
<p>xbuddyx3, its so cool that you have your own horse! and ten years, wow!
leanne2213, i live in a suburban town in MA around 15,000 like xbuddyx3, so i had the same reaction! i dunno about you guys, but im already feeling a little claustraphobic and cant wait to meet new people at college and everything.</p>
<p>4 dayss!!! =)</p>
<p>I’m also applying early decision to Elon… and my stomach is in knots! I can’t even think about getting rejected because it is by far my ideal college. I’m from Mass and it’s hard because all of the schools I am applying to are in the south! It’s interesting viewing what everyone’s writing, I am just so preoccupied for midnight on Wednesday!</p>
<p>MLP… what town in MA are you from??</p>
<p>oh trust me, Jen, it’s by far consuming my mind, too. ugh it’s frustrating and nerve wracking and exciting all in one. I’ve almost decided I think I’ll get deferred, though, just trying to prepare myself for the worst. Unless not too many people from my region applied with better stats than mine, then maybe I’ll be okay. Idk! </p>
<p>and trust me everyone, when you come from a town as small as mine, you’re past the point of claustrophobic! I went to Wal-Mart tonight to do a little Christmas shopping for the kids I tutor, and I saw more people I know than you can count on both hands, and probably feet, too. </p>
<p>but bottom line, I cannot picture myself anywhere other than Elon, and I will be beyond devastated if I don’t get in. There are just soooo many opportunities there! Not to mention the beauty of it all.</p>
<p>mlp, My ex-boyfriend was a football player and we did a girlfriend flag-football game and it was SO FUN. If I get in I’d definitely be down to do some intramural flag football, you should keep considering it!!</p>
<p>Jen33193, I’m the exacccct same way! I live in CT and didn’t even consider any schools in New England because I’m not a fan of the cold…all the schools I applied to are down south too!</p>
<p>leanne, that’s so insane. I can’t even imagine living in a town that small! but I feel the same way you do, I feel like I’m going to get rejected (which would totally break my heart). idk maybe I’m just being paranoid!</p>
<p>hi Jen33193! I’m from westwood, what town are you from?</p>
<p>yes! i totally agree with everything jen and xbuddyx3 said. i am also applying to more schools down south becuase i am not a fan of the cold here either! leanne2213, i am so jealous that you live in north carolina haha. but i can’t even image how claustraphobic you feel! i already cant wait to get out of my hometown. </p>
<p>xbuddyx3, flag football sounds like so much fun! ive never played before so thanks for letting me know your thoughts. its definitely something i want to check out/join if i get into elon. </p>
<p>all i can think about practically every minute of the day is how i would feel if i get rejected/deferred/accepted. but now that we are getting closer im thinking more about getting deferred/rejected. its driving me crazy and i just want to know already, whether its good or bad! thank god i have you guys. </p>
<p>ahhh three days!!!</p>
<p>mlp, me too! Right after I applied I thought I had a pretty good shot of being accepted, but as decision day gets closer I’m thinking more and more that I’ll end up rejected/deferred</p>
<p>only 3 more days you guys :)!</p>
<p>Hey guys! I’m Emily, and like you all I applied early decision for Elon University! I’m in LOVEE with the campus and I adore the school. Elon is pretty much the only school I want to go to, and I’m so nervous about admissions! I don’t really know where I want to apply if I don’t get accepted…</p>
<p>From the last year’s chat’s that I’ve looked at, it looks like it depends on who your admission’s counselor is there- if you will get a call or not Tuesday during the day. Otherwise, Tuesday at midnight can’t come soon enough. Good luck to everybody! :)</p>
<p>and the same to you, Emily. we’re all relying on each other pretty much these last few days, or at least I am! mlp and xbuddy, I feel the EXACT same way!! when I first applied (which was literally September 1), I thought there was no way I could get denied/deferred, but as decision day is approaching, I have this lurking feeling that I’ll end up being heart broken. =/ I just hope it all goes for the best, since Elon did accept two people from my tiny little town last year. That’s it, though. it’s soooo claustrophobic- you guys have nooo idea! every day here is just another day I’m looking toward my future, hopefully at Elon.</p>
<p>ahhhh 3 days! : )</p>
<p>MLP… Andover!</p>
<p>Yeah flag football sounds awesome we have a powder puff for the seniors (girls play football boys are the cheerleaders) and pretty much our whole grade gets involved. I’m trying to stay positive so when I find out Wednesday (midnight of course hehe) it is just to find out where I will be spending my next four years rather than the sad possibilities. Besides Elon I really like Clemson so thats my next plan of action. Post on here if anyone gets in!</p>
<p>just checked my e-mail & had one from Elon reminding me of the decision being released Wednesday… 1 more day you guys!!! well, sorta.
: ) good luck everyone!</p>
<p>leanne, i just saw that email too! i almost died because the subject line cut off and all i saw was “admissions decision released” and thought they posted them already hahah</p>
<p>but yes! tomorrow night we will know our fates :)</p>
<p>I know lol I did the exact same thing!
you better be on tomorrow night for support!!!</p>
<p>haha thanks for the warning guys! i probably would have checked my email and had a heart attack as well! </p>
<p>yes! i will be here! wait, tomarrow night?? ahhhh!!! good luck everyone =)</p>
<p>i’ll be here too!!! woooo one more day (kinda)! this is crazy</p>
<p>sooo crazyyy! I’m already freaking out inside. I’m sure tomorrow will be the longest day of my life… ahaha.</p>
<p>Guys, guys…take it easy. A little gratuitous wisdom from a boring old parent (with 2 kids in college, 1 at Elon): Don’t put all your hopes in one school. There are many places you could be happy and get a good education leading to a successful and fulfilling life. You simply cannot know for certain today where that will be. Elon IS beautiful and a wonderful school, and I admire their ethics and philosophy (more boring parent stuff) greatly. And I truly wish for all your Elon dreams to come true, understanding how excited and anxious and hopeful you all are. But please, for your own sake and for your parents’, who want more than anything to see you happy, don’t set yourself up to feel like the end of the world if somehow you aren’t accepted at Elon- or anywhere else! It will all work out somehow, whether at Elon, another school, or starting somewhere and transferring. OK, parent lecture over. Best wishes and good luck to each of you.</p>

<p>My sister is a junior at Elon and absolutely loves it. I’m applying early action and can’t wait!</p>
<p>I wanted to echo merkur. Two years ago, my son got turned down at his ED first choice and was devastated for a few days, but wound up at a school which he says he now knows was a far better fit for him and is glad the first school didn’t admit him. Trust in the decision when it comes.</p>
