My D is a junior, and as of today she says that Elon is her favorite school of the ones she has seen. I just thought it would be helpful to see what you need stat-wise to get in. Besides stats, if you know what else they value please share. Much thanks, and congrats to everyone who gets in. It’s such a lovely school with such a good feel.

Also… Elon values demonstrated interest. Visit the school early. Email tour guide, admissions rep, and anyone else you can think of. Apply Early Decision!! Be sure to include all service work and volunteering on application… I believe Elon values that highly. Good luck!
