[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Elon is on the rise.  Richmond on the decline.  But you do you.   Yeah,  you do you.   Just giving you the facts to make your own judgment. [/quote]

Elon is on the rise with rich kids who aren’t that bright. Richmond is a very solid school and getting better.[/quote]

Any sources here? [/quote]

Literally 20 minutes of googling will lead anyone to this sensible conclusion

What do you expect a randomized double blind study?[/quote]

Please share if it's so obvious [/quote]

Look at the CDS of each school. [/quote]

How exactly does that show UR is superior? [/quote]

I feel like i engaged with you earlier and it was very frustrating. You dismissed meaningful data points like test scores and acceptance rates. Everyone who is tapped into college admissions knows it is very hard to get into UR and only really bright accomplished kids end up there, whereas almost any half decent student can get into Elon. And the ones who go to Elon are the ones with no better options. So believe what you want to believe, I really don’t care [/quote]

NP here.  I get that the other PP is being rude, but so are you.  I have a kid going to Elon who has “better” options.  She turned down 3  colleges with higher USNWR rankings and some that are lower ranked but people here would like better.  It’s where she wants to go and it spoke to her.  Everyone she has spoke to that went there loved it.

i am under no illusion that it is a "better" school than UR.  In fact, i tried to get her to apply to UR as well, but she thought it was too small.

Please keep in mind in your comments that these schools are some kids' choices and there are kids on here (not mine).  we can compare facts and experiences without  trashing schools.  i would guess most people on here trashing Elon have never set foot on campus and have no idea what the
school offers.

And so what if a kid has "no  better option"? If they like the school, one is all they need.

Grow up, all of you![/quote]
