Following along. Elon is D23’s favorite school of all that she has visited so far (we have been to 13). She has several more selective schools on her list, but I have a feeling that Elon may win out in the end. It checks nearly all of her boxes. Mid sized, warm weather, collaborative (rather than competitive) environment, and we know a few recent grads who have nothing but rave reviews (as do their parents). The tour and information session were done very well.
The irony is that if it were a more selective school , D23 would like ED here and we would be done. I think the fact that it is less selective is the only thing holding her back. We as parents are definitely emphasizing fit over bragging rights.
