I greatly respect Elon, and especially its well managed, well deserved, and rapid stature increase. However, many resumes are read by evaluators and hiring officials who are seasoned professionals, possibly in their 40’s, 50’s, or 60’s. They will all recognize Dickinson’s long-standing reputation – it was founded in 1783 – as an excellent LAC. How many, however, will understand that Elon – founded in 1889 – is now an excellent undergraduate institution? Please understand that, based on the facts, Elon is quite competitive (with all the good/excellent LACs, including Dickinson). But it is also an unfortunate fact that PERCEPTIONS are quite critical.
