Great recs
Ecs are ok</p>
<p>third time is the charm</p>
<p>Something I’m interested in noting:</p>
<p>Could everyone please post, along with accepted/rejected, whether or not you visited Lehigh officially (where you have to sign in), how many times, and if you contacted admissions in another way at other times?</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>Sure, I was accepted and I visited Lehigh once. It was just an information session. I never contacted an admissions officer though. </p>
<p>Oh, and in my Why Lehigh? essay, I didn’t write a single word about their academics. I made sure to namecheck the admissions officer at the information session. I talked about the information session specifically, though. It was basically "Everyone was really welcoming (: " and “There were lots of hills. I could get great exercise walking to class.”</p>
