<p>Yes. Your SAT scores (even without retaking them) are within the 50% for math and above 50% for CR. Strong ecs coupled with the difficulty of your course load, make you a strong applicant for Lehigh.</p>

<p>The BEST advice I can give to anyone now that I’ve been through the admissions process and seen others’ stories of admissions: YOU NEVER KNOW! You can be disappointed by a safety school and surprised by a high-reach school. DO NOT REFUSE TO APPLY SOMEWHERE THAT YOU DO NOT THINK YOU CAN GET INTO. Apply to as many schools as you can.</p>

<p>You, personally, have a good chance at being admitted.</p>

<p>I guess you have a high chance of getting in Lehigh.</p>

<p>You have a good chance at getting admitted if you do not need financial aid. Lehigh is trying to increase its diversity through increased minority and international enrollment; however, the current economic crisis means that many universities – and I doubt Lehigh is an exception – can’t fund as many students as they would like. Funding is generally more limited for international students than it is for domestic ones.</p>
