Lafayette Class of 2029 Official RD Thread

This is the official discussion thread for Lafayette Class of 2029 RD applicants. Ask your questions and connect with fellow applicants.

Does anyone know when they release RD typically?

It looks like it was March 22, 2024, and March 23, 2023 for the past two years (link to Class of 2028 RD thread below). Good luck everyone!

Does anyone know the current process for Marquis Scholars/Fellows scholarships?

My senior received a handwritten note in the mail today from LC with mentions of things they wrote about in their supplemental application question. Did anyone else receive anything similar? Hoping this is a good sign!

Did they apply ED or RD? We are (not so) patiently waiting on ED2 decision…website says mid-Feb but I do not know how they define mid-Feb.

They applied RD so it was a nice mailing to receive while we wait the long wait!

Do you know if the invitations were sent out?

No… which is why I was asking. Old threads mentioned being notified late Jan and here we are late Feb. I didn’t know if that means they weren’t sent or my child didn’t get one. He’s a better student than I was and I got a Marquis Scholarship in ancient times (there wasn’t a Fellowship at that time.).

My S also received. Feels like a positive sign.

So many of my kiddo’s RD schools have alerted they would be announcing this week… any clue about LC? This is at the top of my student’s list and the wait is grueling!

Last year they didn’t announce until March 23. Hopefully it will be sooner this year!
