I just got accepted to Lehigh RD and it was my #1 I was so excited. Your scores are kind of low but there is so much more to your application than academics. If you can write great essays, get good recommendations and get good grades your senior year, your chances could improve. Also, I would recommend showing the colleges that you really want to go to that you are interested by visiting, getting an interview, etc. I know that I got in RD while my friend with better stats than me got waitlisted. One major difference could have been that I visited twice and showed Lehigh that I wanted to go there. As long as you keep improving in your grades and keep up EC’s you could have a chance at Lehigh or the other schools on your list.
