Lafayette College RD 2024

Older child was accepted to Lafayette with Marquis Scholarship a few years back. Now sibling awaits decision. No matter what happens this week, good feelings towards Lafayette. Go Leopards!

Has anyone received their acceptance letter yet? Have any International applicants received a Fedex tracking number?

We did not receive anything in the mail today. We are in NJ.

We are in NY. Nothing here yet. I am thinking Monday as we got the Boston College acceptance packet today and it is postmarked March 20. I will be looking out for the red envelope.

Nothing in NY yet

As per the Admissions Office on Instagram, the international acceptance packages will be sent via Fedex, and they have not been sent yet.

It should be in the portal by Tuesday. I wished they had just put it in the portal on Friday.

I just got my USPS informed delivery email this morning and there was nothing from Lafayette. They did say there was one other piece of mail that there was no image for. Could it be a big envelope from Lafayette? Keeping my fingers crossed. I will keep you all posted.

@holychild - Sadly, we will not get our decision because they mailed it to her school. We will have to wait for the portal :-(. I will just rejoice with the rest of you unless the portal gives decisions before your mail arrives.

@holychild the larger envelopes such as the LC admissions one will generally not show up in informed delivery. Fingers crossed for you from an alumnus from the class of 83.

Just got the acceptance packet here in NJ. no money :frowning:

Stats if you donā€™t mind sharing?

same

@mamamard @DogMom65 - No merit, No Financial Aid or no anything? I have to live vicariously through you all until the portal decisions are available.

Ditto. Daughter got in today, no merit. Big envelope delivered USPS (weā€™re in NJ), but the portal isnā€™t even updated yet. EFC is also higher than every other college she got into, so I have to call the Financial Aid office and see if thereā€™s wiggle room.

Just got acceptance in mail today as well (CT). No merit/aid :frowning:
Stats: 3.76 UW, 1480 SAT, tons of ecs and service hours

@zzcollegeboundzz was your EFC out of line with other colleges? Lafayetteā€™s EFC was 4,000 higher than Hamilton for us.

@Sarrip - no merit, no financial aid, no anything. I was not expecting any financial aid - but our EFC in lafayette is crazy! I dont know how they even came up with that amount. I was hoping for some merit only because I know my sonā€™s stats were a lot higher than the average but nothing. I will probably try to talk to the financial aid office because this is not going to be doable for us at all. specially with all that is happening, we canā€™t afford the $74K/yr expense.

@Quantify Lafayetteā€™s EFC was also 4,000 higher than Richmond for me (after the initial price difference), thatā€™s the only school I could really compare too.
