If you are a C student with mediocreFeb 05 2022Psychology
If you are a C student with mediocre test scores you will be in the running to attend. Elon is not particularly selective with a 70% acceptance rate. Simply bring money and minimal effort to succeed.

I think you need to think beyond grades andApr 27 2017History/Histories (art history/etc.)
I think you need to think beyond grades and test scores. Elon wants students that can achieve academically but also bring something with them to campus. Will Elon be a better place because they accepted you? What do you bring? What can you bring to Elon? Take a chance on your essay. Do not play it safe.

Elon really cares about having students with global perspectivesJan 22 2014Biology
Elon really cares about having students with global perspectives that want to not only learn about the world around them, but also play an active role in an increasingly globalized world. I sound like I'm quoting the catalog, but this is really true. Any unique experiences that relate to other cultures or parts of the world are good to include on your application. Elon wants a body of students with diverse perspectives. Every time I get to know a fellow student, at some point I'll find out that they grew up in a foreign country or had some other significant international connection/ experience.
