<p>I sent my application in at about 5:00 on the 31st. Lafayette is my top choice, but not enough for me to apply ED. It's going to be a long wait, so I was thinking this could a discussion thread for Lafayette-hopefuls. I will post my stats, and anyone that wants to is encouraged to as well!</p>
<p>SAT I: 1980 (640 CR, 690 M, 650 W)
SAT II: 720 Math II, 750 Biology E
ACT: 30 (33 E, 31 M, 29 R, 27 S)
Unweighted GPA: 97.27
Class Rank: 6/457
Major: Electrical Engineering</p>
<p>Lafayette’s my top choice too… (unless I get into a ridiculous reach school)</p>
<p>SAT - 2020 (740M, 630 CR, 650W)
SAT II - 740 Math II
ACT - Still waiting for December scores
UW GPA - 3.54/4
My school doesn’t rank…
Major - Engineering Undecided (but I’m drifting towards electrical)</p>

<p>Hey AqueousView11… maybe we’ll be in a class together next year :o</p>
<p>Hey, yeah that would be awesome! Our stats seem pretty similar, but you have in math by a bit.</p>
<p>^ You have better GPA though</p>
<p>I think we both have really good chances of getting in. Can’t wait until April comes around.</p>
<p>I applied to Lafayette RD. It’s my number two school behind Notre Dame. Here’s what I got</p>
<p>SAT I: 2060 (650 CR, 760 M, 650 W)
SAT II: 800 Math II, 790 Chem, 720 US
ACT: 33 (33 E, 35 M, 33 R, 33 S)
Unweighted GPA: 98.69
Class Rank: 1/299
Major: Chemical Engineering</p>
<p>Comuniello36, you should get in no problem as long as your essays, recommendations, and EC are good.</p>
<p>On the site it says that subject tests are recommended, but the admissions officer I spoke with told me that she personally doesn’t even look at them. Have you guys heard anything else about this?</p>
<p>Honestly I took the subject test because it was required by another school I’m applying to…</p>
<p>I remember reading on Lafayette’s website that they recommend engineering majors to take a math and science subject tests so it can’t hurt… (maybe they use the scores for class placement after admissions, but not the admissions process itself)</p>
<p>That’s a good point, and they do say that on the website, but I would have assumed that my score of the BC Calc exam will determine class placement. </p>
<p>So why did you guys choose Lafayette as one of your top choices? For me, it was the top ranked engineering program within a classic liberal arts college.</p>
<p>I applied RD. Lafayette is one of my top schools. I am hoping for Marquis… </p>
<p>SAT I: 2070 (670 CR, 700 M, 700 W) I did not send…
SAT II: 720 Math I, 790 US History
ACT: 34 (34 E, 35 M, 34 R, 33 S)
Unweighted GPA: 4.0
Class Rank:1/282
Major: Chemical Engineering </p>
<p>Good Luck Everyone!</p>
<p>I applied RD and I really loved Lafayette so hopefully i will get accepted!</p>
<p>ACT- 29 
SAT II: Chem-750 US History- 700
GPA- 98.49
Rank- 30/500
Great recs and Community service (really unique)
Great summer internships</p>
<p>Hopefully ill be accepted and i hope you guys will also!</p>
<p>Lafayette is my top choice tied with a couple others.</p>
<p>SAT I: 1980 (650 CR, 610 M, 720 W)
SAT II: 690 World History
Weighted GPA: 4.0
Unweighted GPA: 3.4
Class Rank: Top 35%
Major: Economics (first non-engineering to post haha)</p>
<p>My GPA is admittedly low, but I’m hoping my rigorous senior year courses and unique essay, recommendations and extracurriculars will make up for it.</p>
<p>Good luck to all!</p>
<p>Hey we have the same SAT score! I wish I had received at least at 2000, and looking back I should have studied for the SAT, but what’s done is done. I don’t think Lafayette puts a lot of weight on standardized test scores as long as they are past a certain threshold. On the other hand, if you have excellent scores that will be an undeniable advantage. At the open house, the admissions woman I spoke with told me that rigor of courses taken is the most important factor in admissions.</p>
<p>On a side note, for those who use the 4.0 scale, how does that work? Do you merely muliply by 25 to get your average out of 100 or is it more complicated than that?</p>
<p>My son applied to Laf RD. It is/was his #3 favorite. But, as it turns out, his outside scholarship won’t be usable there. So, he probably won’t enroll if admitted. Stats are as follows:</p>
<p>SAT I: 1960 (740 CR, 590 M, 630 W)
SAT II: didn’t submit
Weighted GPA: 4.0
Unweighted: 3.6
Rank: 44/312
Major: Psych</p>
<p>I’ll let you know if he gets in.</p>
<p>My son submitted his common app on Dec 11 and submitted the final piece, the supplement, in the last week of Dec. He hasn’t yet received any login id to check application status. Web site says they will send login in snail mail. Anyone know how long it usually takes, since submitting the common app, to receive this login id. I hope they weren’t waiting for all items to be submitted before mailing out the login id that enables my son to check his application status. The online check helps track if any material is missing.</p>
<p>when do rd people get their result? i ve submitted mine on dec 15th and im international if that makes difference</p>

<p>Submitted my application around the same time… haven’t got anything in the mail yet</p>
<p>@ikkim12</p>
<p>I think rd people find out around April 1st… I do not believe being international affects that date…</p>
<p>I applied on January 1st (better late than never), and my brother went there and loved it.</p>
<p>I applied ED to lafayette and I really really regret my decision now. But I have been deferred, so still have hopes for RD. Now almost everyone from my country will be applying Lafa this time (around 15-20) guys, so neck-throat competition.</p>
<p>I applied RD too!
GPA= 3.4 UW/ 5.0 W
Rank: 51/~715 (It changes alot as more people drop out)
SAT: 760 Math/730 CR/690 W
Engineering Major (girl)
I like to think my essay is good
Swimmer/Indiana
I really liked my school visit so I hope I get in with $$!</p>
<p>I think I’m going to change my decision to ED!!!</p>
