<p>@: wherewithal10: Congrats!!! 
I hope to have the same luck as you!</p>
<p>hey! congrats! i hear they sent out bumper stickers included in the envelope :)</p>
<p>wherewithal10: Congrats! Such great news!! Hope my D has the same luck as you! Would you mind telling us the ādetailsā of the āaccepted envelopeā as well as your stats and when your application (including transcripts) was complete?</p>
<p>DD received her letter on Thursday, 12/3. The Acceptance letter was dated 12/1. Her file was complete on 11/10. We are in Virginia. The letter had 61-cents postage and was a little bit bulky, as it contains a Lafayette sticker for the car. All in all, it was a very nice letter.</p>
<p>My friends unfortunately were deferred 
congrats to everyone who got in though!!!</p>
<p>Canāt believe Lafayette is still doing this via snail mailā¦ As an alum I think they could save some money, and as a parent I think they could relieve some stress on their applicants, if theyād do it via a website and email!</p>
<p>Yeah but I would feel much worse with an online deferral</p>
<p>My daughter got accepted today! She got the same bulky envelope, bumper sticker and personal acceptance letter. So nice! Very surprised how quickly it came since her file was missing her first semester grades and guidance counselor rec and not complete until 11/23! I wonder when we will get the financial aid infoā¦ Anyone know? Iām going to call on Monday. I thought at the engineering open house they said it would be with the acceptance.</p>
<p>If I applied regular decision after switching it from Early, when would I likely hear by? My file is complete, just having a few issues completing the financial aid forms due to family issues. Do they wait until the finanacial aid forms are done to review the applications? I have had both an on campus interview with a member of admissions and an off campus interview with an Alumni rep.</p>
<p>NJSoccer, I guess thatās trueā¦ my D applied ED to another college and was just accepted (yay) - she found out from their online status check website, PLUS an email, PLUS a letter in writing. She said, āIf they had rejected me, would I have gotten rejected 3 times too?ā </p>
<p>So maybe thereās something to be said for the old-fashioned bulky envelope. And you guys donāt have to go online to buy a bumpersticker for your car!</p>
<p>Mare_Crisium: Lafayette seems to like when candidates show interest. if you are in the tri-state area, I hear they almost expect you to come for oneā¦and might wonder why you didnāt. My daughter had hers a few days after she applied ED. It was informational rather than evaluative and she felt good about it after she was done. If you can do it, I think itās a good idea.</p>
<p>DolCi, I would think if you switched to RD youād hear with the RD studentsā¦ I could be wrong but thatās what seems logical.</p>
<p>My son receceived his acceptance letter last Thurs. 12/3. It was in a letter sized envelope kinda thick. He had all his stuff in on 11/10. Hope this helps.</p>
<p>received it fridayā¦small bulky envelope with a bumper stickerā¦
was completed towards the end of novemberā¦</p>
<p>What about international students? Are their decisions out yet? Although my application was complete by Nov 5. They are saying that the decision wont be out until Dec-mid. Any international applicant here?</p>
<p>Lafayette policy for international students in really demeaningā¦ I got deferred to let you all know.</p>
<p>But I have been monitoring this trendā¦They never took ED applicants from my country for the last yearsā¦They either rejected them or deferred them to RD poolā¦Coz they defnitely want to consider all international applicants before choosing the finestā¦</p>
<p>But this I think deconstructs the idea of ED. applicants apply with so much of dedication and trust to ED colleges and they turn them downā¦I am very sad that lafayette is one of those colleges.</p>
<p>I dont hate Lafayetteā¦btw i seriously think they should get rid of these habits.</p>
<p>take in some internationals in ED from next time and Ill remain quietā¦</p>
<p>FYI, a new facebook group has been started for the Lafayette Class of 2014 so the students can get to know one another: [Lafayette</a> Class of 2014 | Facebook](<a href=āFacebook Public Group | Facebookā>Facebook Public Group | Facebook)</p>
<p>What are ur stats</p>
<p>Hi, iām really anxious about hearing back from them. i sent in my application on monday so iām waiting to hear if they got everything. i applied ED, went for an interview, got letters of recommendation by alumni as well, but my GPA is lower than the expected 3.8. i have a 3.2 :(</p>
