<p>Hi,</p>

<p>I'm another Lehigh hopeful!! A little background about me is that I am a Korean-American, live in Pennsylvania, and go to a solid public high school (Wissahickon). I already applied Early Decision to Lehigh University's College of Business and Economics with an intended major of Finance. I feel that my Recommendations were good (one from employee of Iacocca Institute at Lehigh) and my essays are strong.

Percentile: 95.32% (Class Size: 342)

Others: Almost all honors courses</p>

<p>SAT 1 (Highest from each section)
Critical Reading: 670
