I will also be there this weekend. Flying down Friday morning.
@WaitinginCT Glad to hear someone else on here is actually going as well. Are you the student or the parent? From your previous post, it looks like you are a parent on some replies and a student on others. I am assuming a parent because a student would never act like a parent on these threads
@karlmarx2020 - you guessed correctly. Parent although some of the posts are on her behalf so posted as from her. She tells me there is a Facebook group chat of some people going this weekend that she’s been talking to but I haven’t seen that.
Just returned to our hotel after the first day of Fellows weekend. Nice to meet and speak with so many other potential Fellows?it seemed like everyone was from Jersey, CT or somewhere in the Northeast. Very few from the South that I noticed and Wow! - so many more girls than guys. I knew the ratio was tilted towards females, but the percentage today had to be close to 70% female.
My daughter and husband were there this weekend. We live in Florida. They were very impressed with the entire weekend and she loved the process.
@KnightGrad I remembered the campus from a visit a couple of years before when I used to live in Chapel Hill, but was surprised about how pretty it was during this most recent visit. The event itself seemed well organized and things seemed to go smoothly for the most part. I was actually surprised at the number of folks who were able to travel some pretty significant distances for the weekend.
Good Luck to your daughter and all other applicants.
The weekend was very well run - only minor complaint was the prospective fellows were so busy touring, interviewing, networking with current students that there wasn’t a lot of opportunity for them to get to know each other. Elon was not my daughters top choice going in to the weekend, but is tied for first now (with Tulane). Going to be an interesting few weeks watching her make up her mind…
Does anyone have an idea as to when they’ll release decisions about the fellows weekend? I’m starting to get a little anxious XD
I think that they said we would know by the end of March.
I heard them say April 1st two different times during Fellows weekend. I am assuming that is a default answer, but I am planning on that day anyway rather than worry about “when”.
No anxiousness needed. Just relax and hang out with friends. Being anxious does nothing but cause stress for you and others around you. Take the extra time to practice meditation or practice a new language or something. Good Luck.
I just got an email from the admissions office stating I got in for both the college and the leadership fellows as a scholarship recipient, so now I have to choose. Just posting so you guys know a few decisions may have gone out already.
D just recieved phone call awarding her with Honors and College Fellows; she quickly decided to take the Honors offer. Best of luck to all!
I got a phone call around 2pm EST saying that I got into both College and Honors Fellows! Good luck to everyone else
I spoke to the Admin office and they confirmed decisions will be released on April 1. Not time given.
Just logged in to my son’s application status and a Fellows agreement has been recently added to his account.
Got accepted as both an honors and communications fellow, but went with honors. Any other honors fellows on here? I would love to chat with someone and get their impressions of the program and the school.
UGH no fellowship agreement in my daughters account. One can hope they aren’t done uploading them maybe??
@WaitinginCT My daughter received a call last week, but her account is not yet uploaded either. She received an email yesterday stating they would be uploaded by late tonight.
@knightgrad Thank you - means there is still hope
I still have not heard, email said by end of day April 1st.
