    What the numbers say about Elon University

    • The reported middle 50% spans 150 points, from 1130 to 1280. A planning score near or above 1320 gives you a target above that historical range, not an admission guarantee.
    • The Scorecard snapshot reports a 66% acceptance rate. That rate describes a past applicant pool and should not be read as your personal admission probability.
    • Reported outcomes include a 84% completion rate and $74,545 in median earnings 10 years after entry. Compare those figures with cost and program fit, not in isolation.
