<p>Hey everybody!</p>
<p>Congrats to all of those who have been accepted ED! That is an accomplishment to be quite proud of. For those prospective students and parents still waiting by the mailbox for the decision, try not to go crazy. The college admissions process has a weird way of working itself out in the end.</p>
<p>Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Justin Sayde and I am a first year student at Lafayette. I was admitted regular decision as a Marquis Scholar, but had many other enticing offers of admission. In the end, after observing a few classes and speaking with a few professors, my decision became clear. I am a week away from returning to Easton, PA for my second semester and I honestly can't wait to go back. I really miss the "Lafayette Experience"!</p>
<p>Allow me to tell you all a bit about myself. I am from Bergen County, NJ and went to Ramapo High School. At Lafayette, I plan to major in English/Art History/Psychology (not too sure yet...possibly a triple major???). I live in Keefe Hall in the First-Year Wellness interest group. I am involved in some great programs on campus: Lafayette Activities Forum, Host to Prospective Students, The Lafayette Newspaper (the oldest college newspaper in PA!), Residence Hall Council Co-President. I am also considering joining the Division I fencing team next year and am applying to become a Resident Advisor. </p>
<p>I am not writing this to convince you to come to Lafayette or serve as a source of 'Pard propoganda, but rather to answer any questions CC posters may have about the college.</p>
<p>Please feel free to learn more about me from my Facebook profile if you have an account with the website. Also feel free to email me at any time with questions rather than posting to this forum: <a href="mailto:saydej@lafayette.edu">saydej@lafayette.edu</a>.</p>
<p>Finally, I understand that many CC posters will be attending one of the accepted students' days in the coming months or the Marquis Scholar Day (is that April 1st?). Since I am a tour guide, I look forward to possibly meeting some of you in the near future. I do give tours on a weekly basis, so if you haven't had the chance to check out the campus, make sure to set aside some time to do so and get a feeling for the campus!</p>
<p>Again, don't hesitate to contact me for any reason.</p>
<p>Later,
Justin</p>
