College Admissions Story for the B Student

@karlmarx2020 I didn’t get an invite. Not surprised as Elon was a reach with my stats from the start. The engagement scholarship was also a surprise so not getting fellows wasn’t too disappointing hahah

Congrats on the Engagement Scholarship and good luck at Elon.

@ntk131998 this was a great thread. I feel like when I peruse the threads of the schools my D has applied to, everyone has a 2300 SAT and has claimed to have basically cured dolphin cancer. My D was deferred to RD at Elon, so hoping for the best!

Quick update:

Thought I would go ahead and round this out with the final decisions from the deferrals…

UNCW: Rejected
A little surprised here but not really upset haha.

USouthCarolina: I think I was accepted…
I got an email about my FA needing to be confirmed (or something like that) and when I logged on it gave me the option to pay my enrollment deposit.

Either way, won’t be attending.

So the REAL final results

Accepted:
Elon (attending)
UNCC
Bama
Mizzou
Washington College
College or Charleston
USouthCarolina

Rejected:
UNCCH
NCSU
UNCW
Wofford

Well done @ntk131998 - I loved your story! You were so calm, cool, and collected through the whole process, and so down right smart. I am sure you will be a success at Elon. Best of luck to you!

Really good results for a smart list. Congratulations. :slight_smile:

=D> well done!

Huge Congratulations to you and thanks for sharing your journey! Good luck at Elon - I hope you enjoy and thrive.

Yours has been an interesting and inspiring story. It just goes to show that you don’t have to have a 4.0 to get into good colleges. We toured Elon in January and were very impressed with it. Lots of great things happening there. Let us know how your experience is at Elon!

Great job! Congratulations to you!!!

Sorry about your denial at UNCW, but I’m happy that it doesn’t matter for you at all. You’re gonna shine at Elon, buddy. Congratulations on a great admissions season (and a winning record to boot)! :slight_smile:
