I still don’t see any thread for Lafayette 2020 RD Applicants, and see some people ask for it, so I think I’d better start this thread to help us get the latest information about Lafayette. The admission decisions will probably come out in two weeks, so let’s get ready everyone!
This would be kind of the game changer for my son, who applied RD. If he gets the Marquis scholarship, he’s very likely a Leopard. Last year, notifications started just after mid-March. Best wishes everyone.
My son applied RD; this is one of his favorite schools. His gpa isn’t great but his scores are good; essays are probably the best part of his application. We live in NC so maybe the geographic angle will help. Good luck to everyone!
@mtown27 , my son is in the same boat! Which dynamic assessment did your son attend? Good luck to all!
@pnmbn96 My son did not receive an invite to a dynamic assessment. Not surprised, as Lafayette says, “Some applicants who are eligible for a Marquis Award will be invited to campus in late winter to participate in a dynamic selection process. The majority of Marquis winners, however, will be selected solely on the merits presented in their application.”
Did your son receive a dynamic assessment invite? Did he apply RD? Has he already received an admission decision?
As I understand it, a Dynamic Assessment invite equates to a likely letter. They’re just determining your merit scholarship level. My daughter came home from her Dynamic Assessment unsure of how things went. We just have to wait and see.
@MuggleMom @pnmbn96 Did your kids interview at Lafayette prior to the application?
Finally there’s a thread!!!
Does anyone know if acceptances with the Marquis Scholarship will be sent out/received this upcoming week? I know last year some people got them Monday March 16th…
Looking forward to hearing soon for my daughter.
My daughter just got her letter today. Marquis Fellowship!
@Barrrrbie where do you live?
Only about 30 minutes from Lafayette in Pennsylvania
@Barrrrbie wow, your daughter must be a top student to receive Marquis Fellowship. Congrats!!
@Barrrrbie did your daughter get the notification in her email or it was posted to her in an envelop?
@Barrrrbie - congrats! She applied RD? Was it a letter sized or bigger envelope?
My daughter received a package today with acceptance and offering $24K Marquis Scholarship.
is there any indication of when decisions will be sent out?
Congrats on getting the Marquis scholarship or fellowship! Would you share stats? Thx!
Has anyone else received the Marquis Scholarship today? I live about half an hour from Lafayette and I was really hoping to get that
