<p>If Elon is your first choice, I would recommend applying early decision. Your stats are very good and should be enough to get you in. My D had pretty much the same stats as you and was waitlisted this year. She applied RD with Elon as a safety. Competition was incredibly stiff for females this year as they try to balance the M/F ratio. Eventually, she did get off the waitlist, but opted to attend another university that offered her scholarship money. If the economy does not improve, I suspect it will be the same next year as Elon is great school at a great value. Best of luck!</p>
