<p>Hi everyone
I have a 3.3 weighted GPA with a 1350/2000 (670 Reading, 680 Math, 650 Writing) on the SATs. I am going to be a senior this year and by the time I am done with school i will have taken 4 AP classes (world, environmental, econ, calculus AB). I will have a minimum of a 4 on every AP test. I have also taken 5 honors classes including Latin honors for the past three years and US Honors.
I didnt do so well freshman and sophomore year but I finished with a 3.8 junior year so hopefully they will see that.
My class rank is probably in the top 25 precent of my class. I am president of Future Business Leaders of America, President and founder of the Investment Club, member of Debate team for three years, computer club, graphic design club and have about 30 hours of community service. I will also be on Varsity tennis for the 4th year next year and will be captain of the team (we are the best team on Connecticut). My school is the number 1 highschool on CT and is extremely rigorous. Also, if it helps, I dont need any financial aid from Bucknell.</p>

<p>Thanks everyone for your help.</p>

<p>You are probably a little low stats wise. Make sure you visit the show demonstrated interest in Lehigh. The regulary waitlist “overqualified” individuals because they do not show interest in the school. Also, look through the decision thread last year to see where you fit.</p>

<p>I dont know if it helps but I also dont need financial aid and I am going ED.</p>

<p>If you are interested in Lehigh be sure to say Lehigh, not Bucknell, in your essays ;)</p>

<p>Class rank is on the low side as 93% of the last few years classes were from the top 10%of their high school class. Make sure to visit and revisit and get an interview which they don’t give. Let them know you will be paying full price as they are not need blind.</p>
