I don’t feel qualified to comment, since all I have to compare you to is my daughter and her friends – hardly a representative sample – though I’d admit you in a heartbeat. Well done! You’d be a shoe-in for ED (My D got in ED with lower grades, scores and EC’s than you have). I’d expect you to have no trouble RD either but I’d hate sway you and be wrong about it.

The thing you need to know about Elon is that they want students that want to be there, so demonstrating interest is a big deal to them. Visit campus if you can and meet with an admissions rep. Go to college fairs. Even if you can’t do that, develop a relationship with your area rep. Ask questions, communicate your interest in Elon, fill them in on accomplishments and awards you get after your application is submitted etc.(the admissions reps can and will advocate for students if they know them) On your application use the extra space to express why you think Elon is a perfect fit for you.

Good luck! I really hope it works out for you
