<p>I wouldn’t pay much attention to automated ‘chance’ websites. There’s so much that go into an application that you can’t program. You sound like many students that I know here. I’m a freshman at Lehigh and you seem to fit the standard profile of an LU student. That being said, make sure you spend time on your essays and do whatever you can to show interest, if you haven’t already. Friendly tip: take all your AP tests in the hopes of getting as much credit as you can. Here’s the scores you need:</p>

<p>I forget when the deadline is for ED, but whether it’s ED1 or ED2 I would recommend those. Best chance of getting in that way. Won’t affect need-based aid, but may affect any academic scholarship. But so few kids get those I wouldn’t worry about it. But I’d say you’re well suited for Lehigh.</p>
