<p>Your SAT scores are a little low, depending on whether or not math or verbal is a lot different might make a difference, but i think ur EC's will balance it out a little. Your GPA might be a little low, but i don't think that will be a problem. I also know they look at the essays pretty heavily, so that might make a diff. If I were you, I'd cross my fingers! Good Luck!!!</p>

<p>... also, is there much of a chance for scholarship/aid?</p>

4

<p>you have a better chance than me</p>

5

<p>don't be so quick to draw conclusions :)</p>

6

<p>better test scores and grades and youre a female in engineering. im male in biology</p>

7

<p>yea but the act scores will hurt a little. Otherwise you are as good as being in. And artin your scores are in the range you have a good chance too.</p>

<p>ITs sad so few visit this baord</p>

8

<p>when are we going to start getting decisions? I know they say march but I think they really come a lot earlier. Anyone know from last year?</p>

9

<p>Last year my son didn't find out until the last minute (very end of March) and he applied regular decision. Looking at everyone's stats - you are all within the median range. Good luck.</p>

10

<p>when i took the interview they said they try to send out decisions before april so deep into march</p>

11

<p>lehigh has interviews
?</p>

12

<p>the interviews are strictly informal. but... if you are on edge and you dont know if you will get in like me then i highly recommend you take an interview. after my interview the counselor who interviewed me(incidentally he is also one of the people that reads admission essays) said it was a big step toward lehigh. remember the purpose of the application is for the school to get to know you and an interview is the best way to get to know you.</p>

13

<p>ah i see. did you have an interview on campus? DO you live reallly close to the place?</p>

14

<p>i live an hour away and called for an interview. i think if you really want you can arrange a phone interview</p>
