Elon University Admissions

Elon University is less selective with a 74% acceptance rate. This means roughly three out of four applicants gain admission, making it accessible for students with solid academic records. The middle 50% of admitted students score between 1170-1360 on the SAT or around 28 on the ACT. These scores reflect Elon's position as a competitive but not top institution. The university seeks engaged students who will take advantage of its signature study abroad programs and hands-on learning opportunities. Elon values students who demonstrate leadership potential and community involvement, particularly those interested in communications, business, or experiential education programs.
