@firstsondad, I’ve posted this somewhere else, but on our tour we had two guides and one said that her biggest and maybe only regret was not applying to Elon Fellows. She didn’t think her stats were high enough, then once she was a student and got to know Fellows, she felt like she definitely could have made it. So…my son is going to apply, he has a 29 ACT, not the average of 31. Also I remember from our tour our other guide raved about Fellows, and so did the non Fellow actually.
Let’s go for it and good luck everyone! Apps due soon 1/10. And check the website, I think it requires in person interviews?
Good luck to those applying. You do not NEED to do the interview in person if you make it to,next step. My D had a conflict that weekend and was able to have her interview over the phone. We went down for rising Phoenix weekend instead. She was offered spots in both fellows programs she applied to and was asked to choose her preferred program.
Just curious what were her stats? And when did you hear back that she got an interview? And lastly when did you hear back that she was accepted?
Congrats to her also!
Thanks. Trying to remember the details. 1390 SAT, top 10 in her class 4.4 GPA, NHS, and lots of leadership and community service. I think we heard by Feb 1 about the weekend/interview. She was able to schedule her interview online. Last year there was a huge snowstorm in the NE during fellows weekend and a lot of NE kids had to cancel their plans and do a phone interview as well. From what we heard, Elon was very accommodating about the situation. They notify you of acceptance the last weekend in March, but she got an e-mail a week earlier congratulating her and asking her which Fellows program she wanted to do. She absolutely loves it there!
IF my son makes it to the next step to be interviewed, I’m hoping it can be done over the phone as we live in California. It feels like an expensive proposition to travel for an interview AND the rising Phoenix weekend event, which I believe are only a week apart. Thank you for all your input about Elon Fellows.
Good luck to your son! If you go to fellows weekend you do not have to go to rising Phoenix weekend. They will cover the same things. If you cannot go to fellows weekend they will let you schedule a phone interview. There is also another essay that will be due that is a part of the weekend if you go.
Hello all. Those who applied to Fellows, is there anything that needs to be done to send first semester grades? I don’t think my son’s were available at the time of his Fellows app. Thanks!
We just received an email from Elon saying Fellows invitations will be out tomorrow on applicant status page!
Does anyone know a time for the decisions to be released? or has anyone gotten their decision yet?
No decision for my son yet.
I called admissions and they said around 4pm today. Refreshing my portal like crazy! Good luck everyone!
my decision was just posted! good luck everyone!
I was invited for honors fellows!
My daughter was invited for Honors Fellows!
My daughter was also invited for Honors Fellows.
No Fellows scholarship, but my son was invited to Elon Phoenix Undergraduate Law Scholars. Does anyone know much about this?
Son was invited for honors fellows!
My son was not invited. ACT 29 GPA around 3.7UW. think his heart was not in the app or essay, but possibly its stats related as well. Good luck all who were invited!
My daughter was just invited to Communications Fellow weekend. I know that they only select 22, so I am wondering how many students will be attending the weekend. Do you remember how many students you were competing against?
