I have to be honest…I dislike the whole “competition” aspect of this. I think it puts too much pressure on the students, who are already at the end of a very stressful application season, combined with AP classes, sports, extracurriculars, etc. It’s also an expensive trip. The focus should be on meeting other students and Elon selling their programs to us. But student does need the extra merit $ to attend, and does like Elon.
