Lafayette College RD Class of 2023

Does anyone know if the neuroscience major is popular at Lafayette?

Our notifications said a package is coming from Easton, PA tomorrow. What is actually in the parcel you received?

We got the informed mail notification, small envelope from Lafayette, guess it’s not an acceptance.

Hey it would be of great help if u accepted ones can plz check the accepted student day link and tell whether it is looking any different for you

S got the package just now, accepted. 1510 SAT/34 ACT, 4.3 GPA, South Jersey

@SouthJerseyite impressive stats, congratulations to him!

Apparently I have an item that cannot be scanned in today’s mail! I’m hoping that’s an acceptance packet! I guess we will find out later haha

Chances are S19 is a no as the envelope is small.

4.2 GPA

@MAandMEmom those are great stats. Hope he gets accepted.

@SouthJerseyite was it a large package or normal envelope size.

It was basically an 8.5x11 office size envelope with at least a somewhat thick pamphlet in it. I will let my son open it later today.

Do any of those accepted receive any financial aid info?

@SouthJerseyite ok thanks. I guess my son didn’t get in. Congrats to your son.

Still waiting on Wake and Bucknell but Laf is definitely at top of the list.

D accepted! Lafayette is a favorite so very happy! We’re in California but very close to San Francisco, so I don’t know how that factors into the mail. The UPSP informed delivery just said there was one more enveloped not scanned and that was the big envelope.

@12s23sssx i went back to the registration for accepted students and I actually CAN"T sign her up for Leopard Days where I could yesterday. That could be because I actually already signed her up, crossing my fingers, because we’ll be in PA next week and I felt like I had to make a plan even though we didn’t know about Lafayette yet.

Waitlisted here! Dont know if that is a nice rejection tho!

@BronxBaby what are your stats?

I signed up for Informed Delivery because this decision is slowly driving me insane.

I live in western PA, so I was expecting something today or tomorrow, but I received nothing in today’s mail, and there’s only one piece of regular mail coming tomorrow, and it’s not from Lafayette, and one piece on Wednesday, also not from Lafayette.

On Thursday’s notifications, it says, “There are 2 mailpieces for which we do not currently have images that are included in Thursday’s mail,” but I can’t imagine something from Lafayette would take that long to get here.

Not good at this! He’s a 90 student with a 1270 sat. We visited and interviewed. This was his reach school so I’m not terribly surprised.
