Hi everyone,
I couldn’t find the regular decision thread so I decided to make a new one! How is everyone doing with the wait? I just want to know already! Also, when do we find out? Does anyone know a specific date?
:-j
Last year they heard back on March 26 so we will probably hear back late March.
I hope so! Where did everyone else apply to? any other PA liberal arts schools? i also applied to bucknell, dickinson (accepted), F&M, and Gettysburg

You have really good extracurriculars but I think your GPA might hurt you:( at least it is an upward trend! chance me please! just posted a new thread
Where did everyone get their LIN? My portal has an accepted decision section and it says to see my decision, I guess when it’s ready, I need it. I don’t think I ever received one though.
how did you already get your decision?? @vh1818
I don’t know if I did. I have never been on the portal so I don’t know if that’s new or what. I’d check but I don’t have this LIN it says I need to see this decision so I don’t know if anything is there.
the LIN is in the email they should have sent you in December. Also, are you predicting decisions will be out on the 24th?
Just so you know, I called the admissions office and they said that a decision isn’t up in my portal just the section for it and that they don’t send LINs out yet.
when are we guessing decisions are out
still the 24th?
I see the LIN too
Will they send us the LIN?
Yeah I guess. And definitely decisions will be released around there.
i called the admissions office in jan. They said that they dont give LIN’s to undergraduates and if your portal asks you for one, its experiencing a “time out error”. I changed my browser and it no longer asked for it. The portal says “late march” for RD.
I emailed them and they responded with “late March”
Last year early writes acceptances were mailed out today , and people got the mail around 14th-15th…Anyone know if Lehigh will do early writes this year
Hey guys! Just found this thread and thought I would join in 
How’s everyone dealing with the wait?
