What do you all think is my chance of getting into Lehigh University.

My current stats look like this:

Classes:

Weighted GPA: 4.7 out of 5.5

Unweighted GPA: 3.88 out of 4.0

SAT: 1370

Volunteer hours: Around 40+ hours

Achievements: Made NHS (National Honors Society)

Clubs/Extra Activities: Physics Olympics (2 years), Lacrosse (4 years), Indoor Track (1 year)

Applying for early decision: YES (usually gives you a better chance of being accepted)

Anyone want to share their opinion if I have a good chance of getting it? I’m planning to apply for mechanical engineer and this is currently my number 1 school. Thanks!

Stats in comparison to Lehigh: SAT (you’re in the 50th percentile), GPA (UW and W look fine)
ECs: Unless you are a recruited athlete, lacrosse and track aren’t going to make you stand out. For Physics Olympias, do you mean F=ma and USPhO or something else? NHS is REALLY common amongst applicants and won’t help distinguish you.

Overall chance: I would say that you will have a low chance, but sometimes it’s all luck

Applying ED will definitely help you. Have you visited and interviewed? Lehigh likes to see demonstrated interest.
