<p>Does anyone have any news or ideas about the waitlist for the incoming Class of 2014? Any help would be much appreciated!</p>
<p>Contact the admissions office (<a href=“mailto:admissions@lafayette.edu”>admissions@lafayette.edu</a>). They will be able to give you the most accurate information.</p>
<p>Anyone have any information yet about the waitlist at Lafayette? If anyone gets in off of the waitlist, please post on here. Thanks!</p>
<p>I think it is unlikely Lafayete will draw from their waitlist this year. A girl we know missed the May 1 deadline for saying she was going there and they denied her because they said they are 5% over-subscribed. And she was a recruited athlete. Ouch!</p>
<p>I have no insight as to whether Lafayette will or won’t turn to the waitlist but I have heard elsewhere that Lafayette had a substantial increase in yield this year. I had heard Lafayette has received approx. 650 deposits (against a target class of 620 Freshman). This is identical to the previous poster’s info of roughly 5% above the target. </p>
<p>It also seems the College changed tacts and initially admitted more students than last year and (based on another thread) more proactively went after those students. Based on the being over-subscribed, I guess the change in tact worked. Maybe too well…</p>
<p>I understand that is no consolation to those holding out hope of gaining admission. I’ll keep my fingers crossed for all of you that I am wrong and/or the college you do attend leaves you never looking back.</p>
<p>I gave up my spot for admission last week when I informed Lafayette that I will not attend. They sent a nice note back thanking me for responding, they said they can now select someone off their wait list. Best of luck!</p>
