<p>No doubt that much of the admissions process is like voodoo. I would say that schools like Elon are trying to boost their profile. If that is true, then they will be more inclined to accept almost all high stat applicants. </p>
<p>My D is also solidly in the top 10% of all admitted students. We visited the school and we both really liked it. IF she is invited to the Fellows Weekend and is awarded one of the Honors Fellowships, She will most likely attend. Without that scholarship, there is no possibility of attending.</p>
