Do I have a legit shot?? Please let me know! I want to study Engineering there.
STATS:
HS GPA: 3.0 took several APs, AP scholar. Competitive Michigan high school.
ACT: 31 (35 math,30 E, 30 R, 28 S)
SAT: 2120 first sitting ( 800 M, 680 CR, 640 W)
SAT II: 800 on Math2, 720 Chem
english is my second language, so thats why my Writing and CR and stuff isn't as high as math.
EC's are nothing spectacular, especially when compared to others on CC.
college sem1 GPA will be near 4.0 but will they even care???
Thanks so much for your help!! ]]> Elon University styrofoam-308775 http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/elon-university/812411-chances-spring-freshman-transfer.html http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/elon-university/812009-campus-activities.html Tue, 17 Nov 2009 13:47:18 GMT Some commentators/reviewers have suggested there is next to nothing to do in town at Elon. Does the university provide on-campus activities, such as campus-wide events, dorm community events, etc., so that students have more to choose from than fraternity parties or driving off to Greensboro, Chapel Hill, or wherever? Can any current students or parents please comment? Some commentators/reviewers have suggested there is next to nothing to do in town at Elon.
