lf you applied early decision round, Marquis Scholars are notified in the acceptance letter. I would asaume same for RD.
International with 1520 SAT (perfect math) and amazing recs+ecs (national awards+president of multiple school societies+ multiple foreign languages and a school I set up)
The only things I’m afraid of is the amount of fin aid I need and a couple Bs and Cs on my transcript (took too many courses). Yall think they’ll take me in?
Does it help to be from an underrepresented state? I don’t think many people in my state go to Lafayette
yes @collegegirl1129 , that can help since colleges want to write about how geographically diverse they are. They definitely try to cover all 50 states… If you are from Alaska, North Dakota or Montana you have better chances compared to a student from the NE.
Hello! I know chance-me’s are annoying buy I’ve been rejected by all my schools for 2 years and I really am praying for Lafayette!!
GPA 3.6 ACT 27
My grades have been effected by a period of dangerous bloodsugar spikes during senior year, I have Juvenile Diabetes and this made concentration harder to manage( I felt nauseous, parts of my body numb, etc)
Otherwise, I have taken 6 AP classes with all 4’s (finally good grades!), was Co-President of the Diabetes Awareness club- I spoke out to middle school students and gave presentations, Started my own club for students with Celiac Disease, worked 500+ hours of Volunteering, Worked two jobs, took care of my Autistic sister, and have competed / and won 2nd place in Science Olympiad.
I am now taking a gap year, I help tutor students for the next set of science Olympiad competitions, working a job to save for college, and continuously volunteer with Vets at my job.
I know my grades are probably below the bottom 25% but I would die to go here… I think I may be rejected bc of aid, though. I’ ll send them a LOCI!! :))
I wish we had a better idea of when we will hear back!! I am getting so anxious over this 
I agree, @neuroscience27
Hopefully, the wait will be over soon… I wish that we could have a clear-cut decision release date.
Previous years Lafayette sent letters around the 24th and most students received the decision 3 days later
Did most of you guys on here interview for Lafayette?
@neuroscience27 Yeah, I interviewed. I decided to get it over with after I did the tour and info session since interviews seem to only help.
DS interviewed as well.
does anyone know the exact date of decisions? I think if someone called the admission office or emailed them to know the exact date they won’t mind telling us.
Do I stand a chance? GPA: 3.65 (about a 3.7/3.75 after semester 1), ACT: 34, 6 AP’s, 4 AP US, 5 AP WH, 5 AP English Lang, I run 2 clubs at school, I am a varsity athlete, I conduct cancer research at yale university, I participate in musical theater and choir, i have gone on exchange to spain, i interviewed, i visited, i also have multiple sports and academic awards.
@r5n38dj wow it seems like you have great chances! Now I’m even more nervous about my chances!!!
My DD did not visit or interview - it was one of the late additions to her list! Not sure how she will stack up - 4.0 GPA, 33 ACT, 1480 SAT, 6 AP classes, varsity swimmer/captain of the team, fluent in Spanish, study abroad in Chile, active in social action/youth volunteerism and leadership, works as a lifeguard… fingers crossed, since it looks like a great match for her.
No interview here. We are across the country and those interviews rely on their being available alumni in your city. They never responded to my sons request so I assume there was no one available.
Lafayette has a link to their admitted students days where you have to sign into your portal. It may not be telling, but for Gettysburg if you could sign in, you got in (it was confirmed).
Can you try signing in and posting if it lets you or not?
@baylin i hope that works! that’s how i knew about Gettysburg ahead. I’m gonna try now
@baylin omg i just tried it for Lafayette and it let me in. did it work for you?
(I got into gburg with 26k merit)
We tried this before! I was able to sign up and someone else wasn’t able to. I tried this for F&M, was able to, and got waitlisted ~O)
