[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t know that Elon wants to be anyone’s safety, I expect they yield protect.[/quote]

They have a 75% acceptance rate. Doubt there’s much yield protection going on.[/quote]

67 percent last year, and goes down every year.[/quote]

I still don’t buy that there’s yield protection.  It’s a great option for lots of kids though, including mine.[/quote]

My kid goes to Georgetown, got into UVA and Richmond. Was WL at Elon. I know many others who experienced something similar. It's very strange. It keeps their acceptance rate low, but unfortunately, also keeps strong kids who might otherwise go there out as well. I have two close relatives who graduated from Elon and I just don't hear anything other than: it's so nice, pretty, people are nice. Nothing very intellectually deep going on there at all. It seems pretty vocational. Will your kid have a nice time? Sure. Will they come out more highly educated? Maybe, maybe not.[/quote]

This post sounds like sour grapes.

“I just don’t hear anything other than…” from your limited pool of graduates is nothing to base a decision on. Maybe the Elon grads you know are unmotivated or depressed for all we know.

They are no different than the bottom third of Georgetown.
