**OFFICIAl LAFAYETTE COLLEGE CLASS OF 2020 REGULAR DECISION THREAD**

oh stats! ACT 27, 4.56 W GPA, 3.9 UW, 4 APs this year, two AP junior year ACCEPTED! GIVE IT UP FOR AMERICA’S FAVORITE FRENCHMEN!

Stats! Accepted with ACT 35, GPA 3.75 UW but 4.5 W, and lots and lots of extracurriculars! Good luck to everyone still waiting

Nothing in the mail in south NJ

@Musti international applicants will be notified tomorrow via email

So if I live in PA and i didn’t get anything today does that mean i didn’t get in ?

@imenkh You tagged the wrong Mustii, but thanks:p

I don’t think so. The mail just takes a little bit ^^

So only those who’ve been accepted get the mails? Great. Good for them and good luck to all whose waiting…personally I am more than sure that I’ll be rejected especially that I am applying for aid…

Same with me. I didn’t get anything today, i live in PA and i applied for aid. Lol im screwed.

Son received packet with acceptance today. Live in South Jersey. 3.9 UW, 4.6 W, top 5 percent, 2020 sat.

But, no Marquis scholarship. Lafayette is eliminated. Good news to someone on the wait list.

I didn’t get anything and I live in northern NJ

Lafayette is need blind. They accept you or reject you without knowing if you applied for aid.

Accepted in CT with 33 ACT and 3.77 UW GPA and 4.37 W. Congrats everyone!

@Britsmum what u said is sooo controversial.

@mtown27 why would ur son give up on lafayette?

Accepted in PA with 32 ACT and 4.3W GPA. Lots of extracurriculars and service. Admissions packet contained financial aid award.

Nothing in mail today in MA

@imenkh One word: dollars. EFC too high for need based aid. Son really liked Lafayette, but it wasn’t a clear leader. All other 7 schools to which he’s been accepted have offered merit aid. And no school is worth $61K per year.

Nothing against Lafayette. Great school. He knew that his chances of a scholarship were less than 50%. But he liked the school enough to take his best shot.

The bottom line is if you want merit aid, apply to schools that want you more than you want them. Some schools offer merit aid i.e. tuition discounts, to every admitted applicant…other schools offer no merit aid because they don’t have to. Each family has to make a decision based on their financial circumstances…

Son opened acceptance package today in CT. 2070 SAT 4.3W 4.0 UW. Very lovely package with personalized letter. Nice touch.
