Lafayette College RD (Class of 2021)

International students should receive emails within the next week too

Hi! I am a current first year international student at Lafayette. From my experience, domestic students got their letters by USPS about 3-4 days before the international students received email notifications. My email notification came through on March 25th. Our letters came later via Fed-X, I believe. Marquis scholars have already had their dynamic assessment day, and I believe get their letters before everyone else. Hang in there! Good luck :slight_smile:

@TrishaAgarwal which country are you from?

@ProfessorSnape , nice user name. Also, I am from India

@TrishaAgarwal haha thanks, neighbor! XD I’m from Nepal.

Hey! For all international applicants… Lafayette will be mailing us on TUESDAY, MARCH 28TH.

@helloitsmelol how do you know? Did Lafayette send emails notifying the mailing date?

wait wait
so internationals get their decisions posted to them too?

@herickxz I emailed the Admissions Office and asked them for the exact date in which international applicants will be notified about their status :slight_smile:

@namelessmonster from what I understand, all international applicants will be receiving an email the 28th and the ones who get accepted will be receiving an additional letter a few days later

oh damn man @helloitsmelol thank you
I guess it’s just an email for me then. :)) :((

Does anyone know the date they are going to mail decisions out for domestic students?

@zbday11 last year it was monday the 21. so i’m not sure. they tweeted to someone that they will be sent at the end of march… not sure what that means for us though. I guess we’ll just be surprised in the mail?

Checking the school website, they don’t say anything more specific than the end of March. Not sure how much longer I can wait!

My neighbor last year received her acceptance letter on March 22nd, which was the fourth Tuesday of March. Since today was the fourth Tuesday of the month I was really hoping to receive a letter today, but I did not. Can’t wait to hear!

@erk138, unfortunately the fourth Tuesday of March is the 28th because March 1st was on a Wednesday. Perhaps some wishful thinking on your part!!! And I wish it were the case as well - feeling very impatient with all this waiting around and uncertain release dates! Best of luck! :-??

I don’t think that they’ll be sent no later than this week because they said that by April 1st everything will be mailed, and I think that since they have to mail to all over the country they’re going to do it sooner than later so everyone has stuff by April 1st. Also last year international students were notified after the RD students were. Someone on this feed said international will be hearing back on march 28th so we will probably hear back before that.

I wanna get the letter so badly, I really wanna get in to Lafayette!

Sorry if this was already asked and answered, but does Lafayette update the portal and then send letters via mail (for US residents). Is it it just via mail?

@impatientmom it sounds like Lafayette normally does not update the portal for US residents - the only notification would be via mail. Hoping they do it differently this year and update the portal because I, too, am an impatient mom!!
