Lafayette College RD Applicants and Decisions Thread

When my D applied a couple of years ago, notification was done all by snail mail. I don’t think things have changed but I’m not 100% certain.

Has any international student received email?

International here, got no email yet :frowning:

Also an international, still no email yet.
However, last year, Lafayette’s decisions were sent via email to international students. Hopefully it will be the same this year haha. I don’t want to wait a lifetime for a snail mail :cold_sweat:

So if we were to be accepted and receive the Marquis Scholarship, we would have been notified already? this anxiety is killing me.

Lafayette has sent email notifications to international students for the past 6 years at least. Few days after that, you get paper notifications, sent by FedEx so you get that in 3-5 days or so.

Since Lafayette sends their Marquis scholar acceptances about a week before their regular acceptances, the theory that they are sending them out friday (March 20th) is highly likely. Lafayette tends to send out their letter out on Fridays and many people have heard from admissions that theyll be sent out at the end of the week.

So, if Lafayette only send decisions by snail mail, is it safe to say that we’re not going to hear back today?

@redhead15 if you live extremely close to campus the earliest you’ll hear back is tomorrow, if you’re lucky. Most people will hear back by Monday.

@Shaldy2 I was really hoping they would email decisions tonight, but I think I can wait until Monday. Thanks!

UPDATE: Decisions are being sent out tomorrow for sure. Meaning internationals will probably receive thier emails tuesday and so will a majority of people receiving letters.

That is great news!

Anxiety level now just went over 9000. Good luck to everyone

If I didn’t get an acceptance letter yet, does that mean I didn’t get any merit money?

@ctteen yes it probably means that you didn’t get an award. Are you an intl applicant?

@ctteen yes it probably means that you didn’t get an award. Are you an intl applicant?

No. I’ll just have to hope for financial then.

Nothing in mail today on RD in CT

@kcgirl1017 Yeah, I live in CT too. I was really hoping today would be the day!

I saw on FB that they were mailed out Saturday. Good luck, everyone!
