There are a few references to the Fellows application process with specific questions, but not a general discussion and results thread. So here you go. Share your stresses, your thoughts, your knowledge on the process and any questions you may have. Please no “Chance Me” questions for regular admissions. There are other threads for that and it seems to frustrate folks in other threads.
I have read most of the historical threads about the Fellows applicant process and it seems that applicants that make the first cut are typically invited to Fellows weekend in the first couple of weeks of February. Has anyone heard any more definitive information?
Wow. You guys are really burnin’ it up with all of the comments.
Latest Info available in the portal:
"Fellows Programs & Engineering Scholarship
Invitations to compete for programs and scholarships will be released February 1. Responses must be received by February 19, so be sure to check back on February 1."
Thanks for starting this thread! How do I access that portal? Do you know if the notifications/invitations will be by emil or mail or through the Elon Admissions student portal like we got our admissions decisions?
@Hornet82 I am assuming you are a parent based on your posting history…Your student should have that info in their email. It is the same portal that was used to complete and submit the online application for the standard decision. Based on historical posts in CC, it seems those that make the first cut will receive invitations to Honors Weekend. Those invitations are scheduled to be released February 1st. After Honors Weekend concludes, candidates are reassessed and final decisions are sent at the end of March. I am not sure if final decisions are made via email or portal, but I suspect the portal. From what I have gleaned from reading older forums, there is a chance of receiving an email before the regular decisions are released asking that you chose between the two fellow programs that you have applied to (if you are accepted to both).
Please use this thread for Fellows discussions so that we can consolidate all of the information in one place. Thanks.
bump to keep on top for Fellows invitation day
From reading some of the other threads, it looks like some of you have logged in to check the status of the application portal. As of 10:30 EST this morning, nothing has been posted but the page has changed - they removed the informational post concerning the invitation timeline. The post mentioned that invitations will be posted by midnight tonight. I suspect it will be sometime between noon and 5:00 PM, but who knows. Please post any info, results and stats info here if you feel like it. It will be nice to know a few of the folks that we hope to meet next month on Fellows weekend. Good Luck everyone.
Will do.
Still checking every half hour… so ready to know!
Nothing as of 12:15…
@globalgirl3 I remember you from the UNC EA discussion. Congrats on being accepted there as well.
Thanks! Yeah, where are your top options for college? @karlmarx2020
^ @globalgirl3 I am really not sure, I have about 10 apps still out waiting on RD. So far, I have been accepted at UNC Chapel Hill, U of Michigan. U of Virginia, Georgetown and Notre Dame. I really like Elon, but I think I will only attend if I receive the Honors Fellows. The extra scholarship combined with the presidential scholarship makes nice dent in the cost of attendance. which is appealing in the long run. How about you (or anyone else for that matter), what are you thinking?
Hi! Where in the portal does the status of the fellows appear?
@malim123 I would think just on the first page where it says “status update” 
@karlmarx2020 Wow! Gotcha! So far I have been accepted to Elon, UNC Chapel Hill, The University of the South, Mercer (full ride), and Georgetown. Still waiting on a few RDs as well. I really would need fellowships to even consider going to Elon, so I’m in the same boat.
@malim123 - I agree with @globalgirl3. It seems like it would change from status update of December 18th to a new update dated February 1st. If you are an RD applicant, then you may not have the same update page as globalgirl3 and I, but there should be a pretty obvious link that says “view update” on the application status page when the information is available. Good Luck.
Anyone else out there deciding between Elon and Tulane?
Nothing at 2pm…
