Elon University’s admission process involves several key steps. Prospective students must submit an online application via the Common App or Elon’s website, along with a non-refundable fee or waiver. Required materials include high school transcripts, a counselor recommendation, and SAT/ACT scores (optional for some programs).
Applicants are encouraged to submit a personal essay and letters of recommendation. Deadlines vary by program, with Early Decision, Early Action, and Regular Decision options. Interviews are optional but recommended. Admissions decisions are based on academic performance, extracurricular involvement, and personal qualities. Financial aid applications require the FAFSA and CSS Profile for need-based aid consideration.
