I think my GPA is my weakness as it is fairly low for my school but I am proud of my upward trend. Lehigh is my top choice and i have visited, done info session, and interview online.

I think you have a really good chance. I would also look at Bucknell, very similar school to Lehigh

Maintain a dialogue with your regional admissions officer emphasizing Lehigh as your top choice. Consider applying ED. If you are out of the NY/NJ/Penn area I believe your chances increase. Best of Luck!

I can’t chance you but as long as Lehigh is your top choice and looks affordable per their net price calculator, you should apply ED.

Make sure you are applying to additional schools…several matches, and at least one affordable safety.

Good luck.
