Hey Candyman! I am an international candidate and I just turned the whole Lafayette Application. I was about 45 minutes late. Would that affect anything hugely?

Candyman, I never knew intls cud apply ED to LAfayette. I have already turned my app in as a regular . Is it possible to still apply as Ed. And are there any Ghanaians in Lafayette.

adrivit,

Your application will still be reviewed. 45 minutes won't make any difference.

db99,

You might be able to contact Admissions and let them know you'd like to switch your RD app to an ED app. Consider emailing Eugene Gabay at gabaye@lafayette.edu; he is the admissions representative in charge of int'l admissions.

If you can convert your application, they'd need you to fill out an 'Early Decision Plan Agreement.'

There are currently two Ghanaians at Lafayette. If you'd like me to provide their email addresses via a PM, please let me know.

BNKS8,

It can take up to 30 days to hear back once your application is complete. With regard to your sending of SAT scores, do you mean Nov. 22 when you say Dec. 22? If so, technically, you might have to wait until Dec. 22 for your decision.

No, your friend would not be able to inform you of your admissions decision. Did you email internatl@lafayette.edu with your inquiry? You might wish to email Eugene Gabay at gabaye@lafayette.edu; he is the admissions representative in charge of int'l admissions.

i mailed to all of them
but no reply
but they gave reply to my friend
and he told me that the review of the ED applicants is over
and they are preparing the decision letters,
now when shall i expect my decision?

candyman92486

BNKS8,

I can only tell you what the website says. Only an Admissions representative can provide more detailed information.

yo justin....4 days to the deadline....
man, i want help with the essay..i dont know what the essay really is asking for.....the one which asks us to describe an intellectual interest or achievement......
any help will be appreciated.....

candyman92486

khan91,

Is there something you've accomplished in an extracurricular activity that you'd like to share with admissions officers? Maybe you have a passion for some "intellectual" hobby (i.e., not video games, sports, etc.)?

I hesitate to go into any detail with my response because this short essay needs to be uniquely yours.
