Ok, just throwing this out there…does anyone think it is reasonable to assume that SOME but NOT ALL acceptance letters left campus on Friday? There are human beings behind those letters and I know I work with some co-workers who are always ahead of deadlines and others who are always a bit behind. Thoughts from this anxious community of those still waiting?
My daughter’s envelope just arrived and she received the Marquis scholarship award! We are so incredibly happy. She has high stats, lots of leadership and community service and was test optional. She also showed tons of demonstrated interest (attended virtual events, interview, etc). We were told that they really consider interest so my daughter showed them the love. We are just waiting on a couple of Ivy decisions but at this point it looks like my daughter will be a Leopard this fall!

It looks like they added new Marquis awards this year. She received one of these new ones ($15,000 per year). I just checked and it says that “the Marquis Awards Committee expects to award approximately 250 Marquis Awards to those seeking admission to Lafayette 2025” and they list the amounts ranging from $10,000-$20,000 per year. These are in addition to the full and half scholarship ones. So it looks like there will be more merit scholarships awarded to this incoming class which is wonderful considering how challenging this past year has been for our seniors. Good luck to all of you waiting for your acceptances!

Confirmed, nothing in today’s mail. I’m guessing it’s bad news for S.
Anyone from NYC get a packet?

From NYC and haven’t received a packet. Could just be the usps or we didn’t get in.

Don’t give up hope just yet! Someone last year wisely said, 'it’s not over until the portal says so". lol
However, regardless of whatever Lafayette has decided all of our kids are going to be all right. They are so much more than a college acceptance or denial or waitlist.
