Need financial aid</p>

<p>I think you have a good chance. Good luck!!</p>

<p>Anyone else?</p>

<p>Private school a plus and SAT’s are in line. Lehigh really likes the < 10% class rank but more importantly they want to know that you want them. The interview is a good but they really like to see you visit and then revisit with a possible sleepover. Good luck!</p>

<p>Unfortunately, I’m a victim of the recession. I told that to the rep I met with and she said if I explained why I was unable to visit but that I desired to do so, it would most likely be counterbalanced.</p>

<p>I’m also about top 15% in my class. Will this hurt me?</p>

<p>Anyone? Please?</p>

<p>I think you have a really good chance and, as WaitingDad said, going for a visit or an open house is really important to them. Your rank is a little low for them, but being from a private school I don’t think it’ll hurt you that much, but what do I know? If you visit, I think you’ll definitely have a great chance!</p>

<p>Also, Lehigh seems to give out great financial aid so I wouldn’t be too worried about that.</p>

<p>So, will being in the RD pool make it more difficult?</p>

<p>Yes it will.</p>
