Lafayette does not have Alumni Admissions Representatives (AARs) that cover high schools in all areas of the country. The closer you are to PA, the more likely there is to be an AAR in your area. If an alumni interview is not offered, it may mean that there is no AAR in that area, and it would not be a ‘negative’ with regard to admission. However, as Lafalum84 has pointed out in the other thread, “turning down an interview if an AAR contacts you may be construed as a disinterest in the college.” The Admissions Office has informed the AARs that the college is “now strongly encouraging admission interviews and thus relying more than ever on our AARs.”</p>
