[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Elon's average SAT score for the class of 2018 is a 1920, and the average weighted gpa is a 4.0. Elon grads are recruited by institutions such as J.P Morgan, Merrill Lynch, Nat Geo, ESPN, Morgan Stanley, and MTV. Although Elon was far from prestigious 30 years ago, its recent efforts has placed it on the radar as an impressive university. [b]It's considered one level below little ivies[/b], and in fact many who are not accepted to the little ivy of their choice attend Elon. Any one who argues that Elon is for "stupid people" today is ignorant of the facts, and has no business commenting on this blog. [/quote]

no that would be places like Georgetown, John Hopkins, Notre Dame etc., with admission rates under 20%.  Elon's is 50%.  With those odds, I'd consider it a safety. [/quote]

no, those are on par with the LITTLE IVIES (Amherst, Middlebury, etc, not sure if you get it...) Below that are schools like elon [/quote]

Check U.S. News rankings. Those schools are not on par (whatever that means) with Amherst, Williams etc.).  
And Elon is not "just below" those mentioned - it is well below.  In a different league altogether.  It is a decent regional school with a 50% acceptance rate. Not sure if you get it.
