<p>I'm saying yes, you'll get in.<br>
Look into their IBE (Integrated Business and Engineering) program.
Good luck.</p>

<p>just b/c the gpa of the first decile is high doesn't mean a thing. schools have different ways of weighting grades. but yea i think you should get in, i had similar stats (higher SAT and good SATs and higher gpa) and good extra currics and i got into their business school.</p>

<p>I will be a junior at Lehigh next fall. I had about what you did, but I had higher SATS and a 31 on my ACTs. I think you should strive for a little higher on your SATs. I know people who didn't get in last year who had much higher. It gets tougher every year. Nobody can ever say for sure.</p>
