No way are the comparable and Elon doesn’t have top academics.


Oh yeah? What suggests they are so different?


The students, the faulty, the reputations, the resources.

Elon’s 25th-75th percentile SAT range is 1175-1330. UR is 1410-1500. Are we done comparing apples and oranges?

The smartest kids at Elon would be the dumbest kids at Richmond, to be crude about it.

What on earth? It’s in the city of Richmond. Elon is in the middle of nowhere.

This is OP. I wasn’t trying to start drama. I would like to learn what is different or the same about these two schools that, on a superficial level, seem pretty similar. My daughter is looking for a mid-size school.

Please don’t indulge this. We can’t just ignore extreme academic quality differences and focus on “fit.”

Both preppy, Greek and isolated, right?

Yeah, I think even Elon admissions would advise you to go to UR
