Hi all, I was rejected EDI from Tufts, and I am interested in applying to Lehigh either EDII or Regular.

ACT: 31 (35 E, 34 R, 27 M, 26 S) (Writing 10)

GPA: 3.421- I absolutely bombed freshman year due to the death of a close friend and some other circumstances outlined in my commonapp but had a huge upward trend. I finished my junior year with a 4.60 and should finish the first semester of my senior year with about a 4.67

Senior year classes: AP statistics, physics, honors English, AP environmental, IB History HL, IB German HL

EC’s: Lead teen liaison for church and community supported health project in my city, 2-time swimming Junior Olympic competitor, 20 hr/wk job for two years, international studies: South Africa, Model UN, art club, student election judge

I didn’t get to read my letters of rec but one is from my junior year IB history teacher and the other is from my biology teacher.

I go to a large public high school in Minnesota.

Thank you in advance and best of luck to everyone!!

Sounds like you would be a quality student at any school! This is Tufts loss. Anyhow, Lehigh is about as selective as Tufts so by all means apply if you are really interested but apply to others too. It may depend on your major selected or many other factors.
