<p>I applied ED to lafayette and got accepted the day after thanksgiving.. it was a very thin envelope so dont be discouraged :) im verry excited to be attending next year..</p>

<p>nicegrlluv, congratulations!!! can't wait to meet you next year. where are you from and what were your stats?</p>

<p>Congrats to all! I applied RD to Lafayette and it is my top choice. I didn't apply ED because I didn't want to be locked into paying $40K a year... I'm hoping to get some aid as I won't be going if I don't.</p>

<p>My stats are similar to yours but I have 7 APs, 19 college credits from a local college, and a slightly higher GPA. Hopefully that will be enough to get me in RD... but I have a long time to wait!</p>

<p>Where else were you looking at?</p>

<p>I applied to Lehigh, Smith, Northeastern, Syracuse, Miami and a few state schools</p>

.... and the ACTs
3 APs this year
3.9 GPA
lots of acting, film, writing, community service
essay was about uncle dying in 9/11 (not as trite as it would sound, it was more about the loss of sanity in my aunt's universe after the whole event, more of an anti-bush than anything so I'm sure I went against the fold at lafayette)

I'm white, but I was thinking about pretending I was an eskimo.
