<p>I would think your chances will be very good. However, there did seem to be a disturbing trend of people with really good stats who got rejected. I would display a lot of interest if you want to get in.</p>

<p>Be VERY specific and explanatory when you fill out the Lehigh supplement essays, and you really should try at all costs to visit the campus. If you do that, I’m almost sure you’ll get in.</p>

<p>Yup, if you want to get in on your first shot, your best bet is to show as much interest as possible. A whole bunch of people that could get into Ivy-league schools were waitlisted at Lehigh. Your stats look great, but now is the time to start displaying your abilities in other ways than school clubs, and showing the college that you are indeed interested in attending.</p>
