<p>Hi, I will be applying RD and want to major in engineering.</p>

<p>Keep in mind that I am well aware that this is a reach school. I just want to know how I stand. Thanks!</p>

<p>GPA: 3.67 UW
Top 5% of class.
Took 7 APs and the most challenging schedule offered by my school (one of three students taking the most difficult schedule, if that matters.)</p>

<p>ACT: 31 comp; 34 eng; 31 math; 31 rding; 29 sci</p>

<p>SAT 1930 ss (I know I did bad on it--but I did do better on the ACT, of course.)</p>

<p>SAT2s: 680 M2; 660 Phys. </p>

<p>*Retook SAT2s in December and expect low 700s on both.</p>

<p>No hooks that I know of.</p>

<p>Slightly above average HS in suburb.</p>

<p>Good ECs and good essays.</p>

<p>Hi rubi32,</p>

<p>A good way to assess your chances is to compare your stats to the admissions averages for the latest admitted class:</p>

<p>[Lehigh</a> University: Undergraduate Admissions: Lehigh at a Glance: Class of 2016 Profile](<a href=“http://www4.lehigh.edu/admissions/undergrad/glance/profile.aspx]Lehigh”>http://www4.lehigh.edu/admissions/undergrad/glance/profile.aspx)</p>

<p>The class profile gives you the average scores - and this should be a good way to assess if your SAT is high enough. I don’t know how your SAT components break down, but you can compare it yourself - Lehigh doesn’t look at the writing section.</p>

<p>It may be a little bit of a reach school for you, but probably not as much as think. Make sure you visit campus and show a lot of interest.</p>

<p>Best,</p>

<p>I personally dont really think its a reach for you. Your stats seem to be on par with mine. Whats your weighted gpa?
Because I have a 3.63 unweighted 4.07 weighted and then a 2040 SAT. And a 710 on sat math 2.
So I mean I feel like were pretty similar. I have a pretty good list of ECs but you said you did too so I mean I think as long as you show interest you have as much of a shot as I do</p>

<p>I think that you’ll get a bid at Pike but definitely not Kappa Sig</p>
