<p>I wasn’t using Lafayette as a safety, but it certainly wasn’t my number one choice. I have about a 90 unweighted average, taking all AP and Honors class, and yes I did show interest in the school. Personally I thought my essay was well written, and apparently so did other colleges. In response to drock16drock I applied to 14 schools, at have been admitted to 5 and waitlisted at 1 (Lafayette) thus far. I’m not too annoyed, just kind of surprised, but anyway best of luck to everyone else.</p>
