Guys do you have financial aid info on your portal?
Welcome to LEHIGH! my daughter is currently a junior in the IDEAS Program! Lehigh loves it when you show them the love. For wait listed students, I would highly recommend keeping in touch with admissions counselors, visiting again, update them with anything that might be helpful, let them know that you will attend if accepted. It’s the thing that might tip the scales between you and someone else. My daughter has loved every minute of her time at Lehigh and you will too! Congrats to those accepted and to those wait listed, if Lehigh is the school for you, don’t give up!
when is accepted students day?
accepted!!! 33 superscored act, 4.54 weighted gpa, large variety of EC’s
finalist for their choral arts scholarship (will hear about that in the mail)
Saturday, April 9 is accepted students day, or “Candidates Day”. Congratulations!
Accepted to the engineering school 1950 SAT 3.3 GPA lots of strong ECs
Accepted 32 ACT, 102 weighted average, showed a lot of interest in visits and emails… absolutely ecstatic because Lehigh is my top schools still so strange that I haven’t received an email I am just glad that someone texted me to check
Just so you all know. Financial aid packages are in the portal. You need to read all the way to the bottom of the acceptance notes and follow the instructions. Then you will need to go to the Banner Self Service Section of the new portal they are granting you access too.
Already posted about being accepted, but I found my financial aid information and I am one of 2 recipients of the Cutler-Sametz Choral Arts Scholarship!!!
Waitlisted…
3.7 UW; 2200 SAT
Good essays and recs, decent EC’s
Confused why I got waitlisted…does anyone have any ideas why?
Congrats to everyone who got in! I checked portal and my email and haven’t seen anything yet… I wonder if that’s a good sign or not…
@chekbru May be because you need too much to attend Lehigh?
Anyone knows whether we can negotiate with Lehigh to get more financial aid award? The cost of attendance is too high and I need more than the amount they offer to be able to attend.
my son was waitlisted with a 33 ACT 1980 SAT (740 math) 95 GPA 2 varsity sports
and they like our HS
where do you find financial aid information???!!
I WAS WAITLISTED WITH A 2270 AND TOP 1% OF MY HIGH SCHOOL! THIS IS RIDICULOUS
