<p>I am also from NJ about 40 minutes from Lafayette. Accepted as a Marquis Scholar at Lafayette yesterday via snail mail! I was very surprised to hear back so early!</p>
<p>Hey Marquis Scholars, have you applied for FA? Is that only students who didn’t apply for FA will be considered the scholarship?
Also, did you all get a chance to Skype interviews? I got a chance but after I replied, the AO told me that she was no longer available… and forwarded my email to another AO. Then nothing have come to me ever since. In fact, I replied to her just, like, 18h after I received the email… Strange. I contacted the AO and she told me she was sorry and was impressed by my continued interest in Lafayette. =_,=
Will that affect my chance to get in? Sigh.</p>
<p>Still waiting to hear RD for my son from Lafayette. Today, I noticed when we logged into to his application status there is a link for “Student Account”. We followed that and it took us to online billing. Anyone else have this happen? Is this a sign of admittance?</p>
<p>New Student Account</p>
<p>DS just checked and he has the same link. Not positive, but I thought that was there before. Can’t really remember.</p>
<p>I have the same student account link. I was able to log in; there seems to be a whole page set up with my information. I would assume this is a good sign?</p>
<p>DS was able to log in as well. Could be a glitch but looks like a good sign. Definitely looks like they are setting things up so we can pay :). Good luck.</p>
<p>We also received an email for a (presumed missing w-2 earlier this week). They eventually found it in his IDOCS package. What happened was the missing documents email crossed in the process.<br>
I have been checking and did not see the link before. We logged in and were able to see a page setup for his account. I am keeping my fingers crossed that this is a GOOD SIGN, for all of us. A better question is: Anyone, not see this link?
We are on pins and needles. This is one of my sons first choices. He received 5 acceptance letters so far!</p>
<p>okay i dont see this thing on my admission status webpage. it would honestly be weird for me not to get into lafayette…i have a 3.9 gpa, very high test score, ECs, volunteer work, essay edited by former harvard admissions officer, had an interview at lafayette and visited twice (so showed lots of interest)…any ideas as to why i cant see it? maybe im just not looking in the right place</p>

<p>Log into the applicant portal. Then click on the “Student Services and Financial Aid” tab. Options are then, “Admissions”, “Financial Aid”, and now “Student Account”. </p>
<p>Hope that helps.</p>

Were you able to find the link to “Student Account” with the instructions that Matmaven provided? </p>
<p>Log into the applicant portal. Then click on the “Student Services and Financial Aid” tab. Options are then, “Admissions”, “Financial Aid”, and now “Student Account”.</p>
<p>I did this:</p>
<p>logged onto my account
clicked on Fall 2013
a new page opened showing my information
at the very bottom of the page, there’s a link for financial aid…
I clicked on that, a new page opened ( the first time the page opened, it asked for a password, but the second time, it didn’t) …
This is the page you all are talking about, I think …</p>
<p>12hulk345</p>
<p>Were you able to see “Student Account” link on that page?</p>
<p>yes, after you enter the password and username ( the second time)
there’s is a link for students and financial aid…after clicking on that link.
you see three links
Admissions
Financial Aid
Student account</p>
<p>that’s it…</p>
<p>And I think, this is no good sign, it was already there…</p>
<p>It was not already there for my DS, it is new. Perhaps, your has been there longer. His might be new because his FA file had a missing doc that they just found this week. IDK. Can you login to that Student Account link? My DS could and it shows an account setup for him.<br>
You might have had that link there for awhile because (I presume) you are an International Applicant by your location.</p>
<p>out of those three links, when I click on the student account one, a new page opens showing another link as
View and/or Pay Your Bill Online
…When I click on the link, a new page opens and asks for username( network ID) and password…this one is for the payments you have done or you have to do( and requires same username and password as before)… So yes, I can log in to that account…</p>
<p>I am not sure whether that link was there before, but I have a feeling that the link was always there but I never bothered clicking…
And yes, I am an international student.</p>
<p>That is the same process he did. I can assure you it was not on his page beforehand. I can’t speak others but it was new for him, as of today. When I spoke with FA today 3/15/13 was the deadline that all FA was needed. Coincidence, I think not.</p>
<p>Then, is it a good news?
good news for all of us?</p>
<p>I certainly, HOPE so!!!</p>
<p>Since March 9/10 (when there were several posts) we didn’t have a single decision/Marquis notification post. I really doubt they already sent out ALL of the Marquis scholarship acceptances, so does this mean they send their decisions in batches?</p>
<p>Marquis Scholars,</p>
<p>What sort of stats (GPA, SAT) did you have to receive the honor?</p>
<p>Congratulations!</p>
