<p>I applied for it...and tried to reserve a spot...but I don't know if I will get the spot. </p>
<p>anyone planning on going to the event?</p>
<p>smiley1,</p>
<p>I'll be leading a tour that day for a portion of those in attendance...does that count?</p>

<p>My son will be there. He was admitted ED, and our family is very excited.</p>
<p>My s will be there also we are all looking forward to the day.</p>
<p>I applied regular decision but was asked to the Prologue Event. Does this possibly mean that Lafayette is leaning towards accepting me?!</p>
<p>kurumi26,</p>
<p>Invitations to Prologue were only sent to about 200 "promising minority candidates." Does that mean you are guaranteed to get in? No, but it's definitely a good sign. Does that mean a minority student who did not get invited won't be admitted? No, but the test scores and GPAs of those not invited may not be as stellar as those of other minority applicants.</p>

<p>What exactly is the point of this event?
Is it part of the Admissions Process?</p>
<p>btw, thank you Justin for your quick response!
Now I feel a LITTLE more confident about getting in

<p>kurumi26,</p>
<p>You should definitely feel a bit more confident about getting in!</p>
<p>Admissions holds this event in order to recruit minority applicants. Their hope is that you'll enjoy your visit and ultimately decide to enroll. The fact that only minority applicants are invited should clue you in that Lafayette is trying to raise minority enrollment numbers (as is every other "white" LAC).</p>

<p>Hi, Justin. My son is already admitted and committed. Should he have declined? My wife and I are making a night of it there nonetheless and having a good time.</p>
<p>Minky,</p>
<p>By inviting him to Prologue, Admissions obviously thought your son could still gain something from the program.</p>
<p>Although it is designed primarily to help minority applicants learn more about the College, your son should still benefit from the visit. He could spend time exploring his living options (assuming he has yet to complete the Housing/Roommate Preference Form), speaking with current students to get a sense of the campus scene, and meeting with professors in his area of academic interest.</p>

<p>My daughter attended Prologue five years ago and it sealed the deal for her. She went on to attend Lafayette, where she spent the most wonderful four years imaginable. If you get a chance, GO!</p>
