Thank you!
Demonstrated interest is very important to Lehigh. Have you visited? Interviewed? Anything to show you are not just using them as a safety would help because you will likely be in the top 25% of candidates. Why Lehigh?
i don’t know where to find the interview online. I looked up on the internet, but unfortunately, I couldn’t find it.
Do you have any ideas ?
It may be too late to sign up for an ED interview…can you do that thru the portal? You might also reach out to both the admissions rep that covers the area your boarding school is in, as well as the rep who covers Vietnam and ask…but again, time is short and the AOs are reading apps all day long right now.
I can’t chance you but you have good stats…I don’t know Lehigh’s international acceptance rate but I expect it is lower than 20%…how much lower I don’t know. Are you applying for financial aid? Did you demonstrate interest…visit, meet with the rep at your school, etc.?
Call the admissions office and they will direct you what to do. Also find out the admissions officer who covers your territory so you can direct other inquiries to that person directly. I suggest you do so to establish that you are serious about prioritizing Lehigh as your school of choice and to review that you have done all that needs to be done to complete your application. Best of Luck!
