Editor's notes
- Elon tells you its order of priorities: your academic record first, then the essay, then leadership, service and activities. Its Common Data Set backs that up, rating the essay, volunteer work and your level of interest Very Important while test scores aren't considered. Write an essay that shows how you work with and for other people.
- If you want an Honors or Fellows scholarship, your real deadline is Nov. 1, not January. Elon asks you to submit your admission application by Nov. 1, whichever plan you choose, and the program application by Nov. 10.
