@ohwellwhatever Congratulations. That is an amazing accomplishment. @Sarrip i will have to keep that in mind for DC #2.

Nothing for us in MA. Did get his acceptance packet from Muhlenberg ( 30 min down the road) in PA postmarked 3/19. Things are not looking good at all and we thought he was well qualified for Lafayette. Can anyone accepted post stats please?

CONGRATULATIONS!

D was accepted without merit aid.
1500 SAT
3.9 UW GPA
No sports
Lots of community service
AP Calc, Bio, Psych

Got letter in CT. Daughter got in with no merit or aid. Bummed because neighbor got in with way worse stats with merit aid. My D has 1410 sat and 4.1 unweighted and a 4.8 weighted, 4 year varsity sport and captain. Tons of volunteer and clubs. Wonā€™t be going to Lafayette for 76,000.

Anyone got acceptance package in CT? We got the mail but no acceptance package. ?

DS received acceptance packet today in mail! weā€™re on Long Island NY.
32 ACT, club sports, community service, summer jobs, several AP classes
good luck to everyone still waiting to hear!

In CT and did not get anything today.

Anyone get a waitlist letter or are they not sending those anymore?

just got mail here in Long Island, but no acceptance packageā€¦ hmmm looks like Iā€™ll be waiting for my portal rejection tomorrow evening. Too bad. Still unsure why they couldnā€™t just post decisions when they had made them.

S20 got admit letter but no mention of merit $$ or Tuition Exchange

Other admits at WPI, UConn, Quinnipiac with healthy merit $$ from each

Connecticut - New Haven County
Public high school
3.9 unweighted
4.1 weighted
Top 6% of class
1480 SAT
Mechanical engineering major
3-season varsity athlete, marching band section leader, gazillion hours community service, yada yada yadaā€¦

Thinking that there will be more info on the portal tomorrow (3/24) after 4?

Accepted.

SAT 1460-1490 range, 4.0, top 15% of class, multiple APs, 3-sport athlete, leadership. We have high financial need, and our FA award was significant.

Our teen was very happy to see the big envelope.

Acceptance vs waitlist vs rejection (experienced all this year), even among peer colleges, are hard to predict.

Hi, just curiousā€¦ I was selected for the Marquis finalists back in February, but I couldnā€™t attend the visits. I live in Northeast PA and didnā€™t get a letter from them today. Even though the Marquis Finalist package said my admission is likely, would they have revoked it because I didnā€™t attend the seminars? I donā€™t know why else I wouldnā€™t have gotten the package since Iā€™m from PA unless they changed their mindsā€¦ any ideas?

Since my USPS mail came at around 11:30 and I didnā€™t get anything, could it be that my mail came in too early? I live on Long Island btw

Itā€™s been a disappointing day for our family. Our DS was accepted and although he went to the dynamic assessment experience, only got a quarter tuition award. We were surprised and very disappointed. He wonā€™t be going to Lafayette although it was highly ranked on his list.
