<p>Your timeline sounds fine to me. You can send SAT scores as early as you want. If anything, it shows that she had an early and enduring interest in Lafayette.</p>
<p>The definite preference is for an on-campus interview with an admissions officer. An alumni interview would be nice if the college has a volunteer in your area to interview her. Again, that would only happen after she submitted her application (probably January - February-ish), and it would show the college that she is really interested. But the on campus interview is “better” (I’d say that’s the correct word). Alumni interviews are great for applicants who live far away and can’t travel to campus to interview, but since that’s not your daughter’s case, definitely try to schedule an on-campus interview, and if they do interviews in the late spring it would not be too early to do it.</p>
<p>Good luck to her!</p>
