<p>You have a very good chance...you look like a very solid match. You may want to add a reach school, and don't forget the Univ. of Florida which has a very solid business program and will likely be tuition-free for you as an in-state resident.</p>

<p>If anything you're overqualified. If you really are interested in Lehigh, make sure you visit, or at least contact the admissions office to show that you would like to attend. I've heard of other highly qualified applicants like yourself being turned down because the Office of Admissions, correctly, assumed that the student was using Lehigh as a safety, and had their sights set on ivy leagues, JHU, Carnegie Mellon, etc. I'm starting there this thursday in the Integrated Business and Engineering program, which you may want to consider. It is Lehigh's only honors program; you major in IBE, a business degree, and choose another major either in business, engineering, or a foreign language. If you attend for a fifth year, or do summer semesters, you can also earn a degree in your second major. </p>

<p>If you visit, speak with one of the professors heading up IBE. I met with Dr. Buell, who teaches accounting and is co-chair of IBE. He really got me excited about IBE and Lehigh in general. If you're on the fence about Lehigh, definately visit. The campus is gorgeous, the students and staff friendly, and the food pretty decent.</p>

<p>WOW 800 hours of service. I had about one tenth of that, but I also had a job.</p>
