“The students top-tobottom were some of the best I have ever had the pleasure of interviewing. When I was ranking the students, I found it quite difficult to differentiate between ‘best.’ I think that this speaks volumes to Elon University and the job that each of you and the students have done to prepare for interviews.” John Chidester PNC Bank
