Interview required???

<p>I noticed in a recent Lafayette mailing that they are beginning to interview juniors, I think starting in May and going through December. Our daughter visited Lafayette earlier this year and will definitely be applying. We are not taking her down for junior visiting day (we had come for a previous open house) but when would it be most advantageous to visit again? I am thinking next fall around the time she applies? Are interviews automatically scheduled when the application is received, or are they optional at the behest of the student? thanks Justin!</p>
