GoGBPackers_4,

Congratulations! I'm glad I was wrong. I'm surprised you received such early notification, as it normally takes the full 30 days.

I have a quick question. Is admission notification often sent via email or postal mail?

Thanks in advance.

Gallop,

Domestic applicants receive notification of decisions via postal mail.

Hello Justin. I have an important question. Are international students eligible for merit scholarships of any kind? Because I just read that the Marquis scholarships are only for US citizens or permanent residents.

cristina89,

From the Financial Aid website:

<<< The College meets the full demonstrated financial need of international students through a combination of loan, job, and grant aid. The awarding of College aid to international students, however, is extremely competitive, and the need for such aid may affect the admission decision. >>>

No, int'l applicants are not offered merit-based scholarships, but grant money is handed out quite liberally.

Thanks Justin.

Since I'm international, would the case be the same? Or will I receive an email instead? I submitted my ED application materials on Nov 1st, and until now I've heard nothing back.

Gallop,

From the Int'l Admissions webpage (Lafayette College Admissions):

When will international students be notified of their admissions decisions?

International decisions are generally finalized in late February, so students may receive their decision letters by April 1. Students who are accepted will also receive notice of their acceptance via email.

For ED students:

Decisions on ED applications normally are made within one month of receipt of your completed application forms, including the ISFAA if you are seeking financial aid.

hello
this is an international student
yet i haven't got my ED decision
will my decision sent via email?
i m waiting for the decision.what shall i do?

candyman92486

BNKS8,

All ED decisions are not sent out at the same time. Applications are read as they are received. If the one month notification deadline has not passed, just be patient.

Yes, int'l candidates receive notice via email.

Hey Justin, I just sent in my application for RD. Do you think it is possible for me to get a decision earlier than April 1?

candyman92486

boston_man_2009,

Most decisions are received a week or two before the April 1 deadline, so it is certainly possible. If you are awarded one of our merit-based scholarships, you'll hear back even earlier, typically around mid-March.
