Do i have chances?

Hi, i am an international student, who is planning to apply to ed1 and financial aid soon. My stats are ielts 7.5 (everything above 6.5) and sat superscore 1400 (610 w/r and 790 math), gpa 4.64 out of 5 (we have no ap classes available). I am going to apply for chemical engineering as first year student. I don't have a lot of extracurriculars, outstanding ones are silver medal on infomatrix-asia 2023 and chairperson at school mun; others like: volunteering on international chess tournament for more than 40 hours; and having two researchs paper which weren't publish anywhere. Plus, parents' total year income about 55000-60000 usd per year. Do i have chances of getting in? I'm scared that there will be too many competitive students 😞😞

Applying to Layfette

Hey all, so I'm planning to apply to Layfette Regular decision and I was wondering how the chem program is there. Honestly I have no clue anything and layfette other than its just 1 school I think.

How is the dorms, life, people, academics, teachers, etc? I'm not really sure if this is going to be high up on my list or not.

How is the campus? If you visited them, I like campuses like Pitt, Drexel, Georgetown, Villanova, so like campuses that are cities or near cities basically. Not really by themselves.

Tbh I only used this college as a 10th college just to have 10. Its probably at the bottom of my list but it might go up depending on what you guys say.

chance of transferring in

hey, I’m currently a freshman at a nescac school (not saying which one) and I hate it. I’m looking to transferring to LC. I’m pretty sure I have around a 3.8 GPA considering I’m in 2 200 level classes as a freshman and I plan to take 5 classes next semester. I have one leadership role and I’m working on another. In highschool I had a 3.7, test optional, and I had various leadership roles in my community. Do you think I have a chance of getting in?

questions lol

Hello! I’m planning to apply to Lafayette through Early Decision and, as an international student, I unfortunately can’t visit the campus in person. For those of you who are current students, I’d love to hear what made you choose Lafayette. What stood out to you, and how has your experience been so far? Thanks so much for any insights you can share!

Do I have a chance for acceptance?

I was hoping you guys could tell me if I have a chance of being accepted to Lafayette given my info. I am a junior who will likely end up with around a 3.63ish weighted academic gpa and am taking the SAT in June but have done well on the PSATs. My extra curricula’s are pretty good and include, President of a school club, employed at large jewelry store, founder of a company with significant revenue, various service projects, and various other less significant ecs. I am a white Jewish man from a private school In California with a high earning family.

Minimum EFC for International Student at Lafayette

I am a prospective Int applicant from South Asia! As Lafayette is a Need Aware college, How much of EFC do they expect or let's say they want students to have at least? I am planning with an EFC of 10-15k a year. What do you think?

Study abroad

Ok so I really want to study abroad, but I have an expired passport. Ik it sounds stupid since I haven't even started classes yet. But I want to at least get my passport started because I'm sure many of you are familiar with how hard that process is. My genuine question is it worth it and is Switzerland a good place to study abroad?

Cons at Lafayette

I'm planning to ED Lafayette this fall as I really think the college is my fit. For the most part, I've only heard good things about Laf and most of the information I've found about it is positive.

However, I am aware that every college has it's downsides so I was hoping that any current students or alumni could share the worst parts about attending Lafayette so that I can have a more broad picture before committing to my application.

Motorcycle Parking

Anyone here have experience bringing their motorcycle to campus or know anyone that has? I’ve seen some motorcycles parked in various spots on campus, rarely taking up an actual parking spot. Can you get away with not registering for a parking pass? I can’t imagine they could reasonably require you to pay $500 to park somewhere that isn’t taking up a spot for a car.

Calc 2 or Calc 3?

Hi! I’m an incoming freshman and I need help with course registration. I received an email from a math advisor last week that I can take Math 263??😱

I’m planning on majoring either psych/neuro and I dont know if math 263 would be needed for graduation. My ultimate goal is med school. Could anyone give me an insight about the course? (both math 162 and 263, like class size, course rigor, assignment… etc) I would appreciate your help a lot!

Chance of Admission + Question

Hi! I'm a rising senior at a small, out-of-state high school & I would like to Lafayette for pre-med; however, my grades were really rocky in my sophomore year. Also, Common App opens in like a week, and I don't wanna waste time looking stupid by applying for a college I won't get into.

I have a 3.63uw, 4.8w (mainly As & Bs, but 2 Cs); done many extracurriculars; 1400 SAT score (retaking in August); and have great relationships with my teachers, so I should have decent rec letters. I also write fairly well, so my personal statement should be good. Do I have any chance of getting in, either EA or RD?

Also, would I enjoy attending Lafayette? I really want to go, but I've heard bad things about food & dorms.

A lot of Ruef Questions

Thank you for any/all responses in advance  🙏

  1. I always heard that South was the "crazy party building," but now I'm hearing that Ruef (Where I'm staying) is even louder lol. Any thoughts?

  2. Also, how full-out do people at Laf go on their room decor/design. I'm trying to get an idea before I under or overdo it.

  3. How big do you guys buy your fridges?

  4. Are the rooms clean before move-in? Or is it usually tough to clean it up before you set up all your things?

  5. How are the showers? Is there a lot of calcium build up on the showerheads or mold on the tiles?

  6. Do a lot of students bring their own headboards?

  7. Do the rooms get a lot of sunlight?

  8. Does the cleanliness vary by floor?

Thoughts on South College? My son is an incoming freshman. Looks like South is a combo of fresh and upper classes. He is on the 2nd floor.
