<p>Charlie </p>
<p>congratulations!!! where do you live and did your son receive the Marquis scholarship???</p>
<p>LC: </p>
<p>He’s waiting until all of the financial aid offers are in, and after he does another set of college visits. The Lafayette offer included a nice merit scholarship, but said they are not done calculating need based aid.</p>
<p>Tutu: We live near Lafayette, and yes.</p>
<p>Charlie, How did your son receive his acceptance? By USPS? Online? Other?</p>
<p>Congratulation…Are decisions going out or does you son have fantastic stats?</p>
<p>Mailed envelope. I imagine they are sending out some acceptances in stages. </p>
<p>My son had very good stats in the upper 25% of Lafayette’s ranges, but he doesn’t have Ivy League level qualifications.</p>
<p>Colleges are finding that they are losing many great students if they wait until April 1 to give a notification. Other colleges have much more time to lobby their accepted students, and the late notification colleges fall off the student’s radar.</p>
<p>And the decision came out so early…</p>
<p>I just received my acceptance letter today and I was awarded a marquis scholarship. I am really excited! My basic stats are 4.29 gpa (weighted) 800 math 650 cr 650 writing on the SAT’s for anyone interested. Good luck to everyone else!!</p>
<p>Accepted and received the Marquis Scholarship 
Weighted GPA- 4.29
ACT- 31 Math-33 English-32
Good luck to all other applicants!</p>
<p>Got my letter today too, as a Marquis scholar. =D
SAT: M: 710 CR: 670 V: 740
The letter was personalized and everything, saying how much they enjoyed my essay. It was really sweet. I hope you are all as flattered as I am when you get yours!</p>
<p>Are any of you going to the Marquis visit dates, then? I’ll probably go to the first one. I live like, a half hour away and I haven’t visited campus yet, so it would be a shame not to, haha. Plus, I’d love to listen to some guy’s lecture about how ridiculous the college admissions game is. =P</p>
<p>Accepted as a Marquis Scholar today!
(ACT 33, in case anyone was wondering)</p>
<p>And I agree, the acceptance letter was very nice with the personal comments they made!</p>
<p>I’m from New Jersey and I’ve visited campus twice before, but I definitely want to go to the Marquis visit days. I think I am going to the April 8th date. I’m excited to learn more about the program, it sounds great!</p>
<p>Has anyone been accepted outside of PA/NJ???</p>
<p>Accepted with Marquis from upstate NY :]</p>
<p>Basics: 33 ACT, 98/100 (w), Class: 10/359</p>
<p>The letter was, as you guys said, very nice and I really liked the sound of that $4000 toward an off-campus study during the interim. </p>
<p>To be honest, I haven’t visited the college; I’m considering the Marquis days, but would rather schedule an overnight to get the best sense possible.</p>
<p>We are in NC and my son got his acceptance and offer of Marquis scholarship today. Very exciting for us! congrats to all!</p>
<p>Oh! So, its all about Marquis Scholarship :)</p>
<p>the decisions are being released?!</p>
<p>Im getting nervous now!!</p>
<p>Congrats!! the people who get admitted</p>
<p>FYI- The college website said they mainly aim to offer Marquis to the top 10% of applicants.</p>
<p>Does anyone know if there is a second round of Marquis awards after some get turned down?</p>
<p>accepted from DC with scholarship
how competitive is it to get the scholarship?</p>
<p>I am international, still waiting…</p>
<p>Son found out today he was a Marquis Scholar. 32 ACT. 2180 SAT!</p>
