Tips for Getting In
  • Have a varied resume from your four years in high school. Be involved in a number of activities. Branch out; do not make your particular interests (academics, sports, volunteering, etc.,) the only focus of your time in high school.
  • Research what aspects of the school appeal to you, and then talk about your findings in your supplementary essay.
  • Try to arrange an interview, whether on or off campus. Build up a rapport with representatives of Lafayette College.
