Elon early applications

[Lafalum84]

<p>The odd thing is, Elon did NOT increase their selectivity last year. They accepted an overall 48% of applicants, which was identical to the year before. So “increased selectivity” isn’t a real reason - but perhaps PERCEPTION of increased selectivity is. Perhaps more people have heard of Elon, and it’s reputation has improved to the point where people believe it is more selective, and thus hesitate to apply.</p>

<p>I still think it probably has more to do with an announced change in admissions strategy this fall.</p>

“We have changed our style of the campus visit,” Zaiser said. “The campus tour is now more experience-based. The guide shares their experiences from their perspective.” According to Klopman, less time is spent on reciting facts about the university and more time is spent telling current students’ stories. “The campus visit is much more exciting,” Klopman said. “We are spending less time on reciting facts and more time on the Elon story. So far, it’s been very well-received. It’s far more interesting and it’s real.”</p>

<p>Another major change in the admissions office this year is how submitted applications will be read and reviewed. </p>

<p>“We’re going paperless in an effort to be reflective of the values of Elon,” Zaiser said. “Our intention is to read our early decision and final deadline applications online. There will be no hard copies.”
