CLASS OF 2020 REGULAR DECISION THREAD

My daughter got her acceptance decision by mail. Letter was dated March 11 and we received it the 12th. She was invited to the Diversity Weekend from April 8th to the 10th.

"
Thank you for your continued interest in Lehigh University. Your decision will be posted on your Lehigh Portal account the middle of next week.

Sincerely,
Admissions"

@selectyour is that a reply to your email to them, or it was just sent to you

^^^^^

Is the letter from admissions a package or just a thin letter? Can you tell whether it is an acceptance or rejection by the outside of the letter?

Got my admissions letter today!

@Much2learn , just a thin letter. I thought it was a rejection letter at first because of how thin it was

@Obrigadaa are you domestic or international

@snow30 Domestic. I live in KY

My chances were slim with my ACT score, as it is far below their average. But i’m glad to know Lehigh does their admissions holistically.

@Obrigadaa

Oh, good. DD got a letter from Lehigh Admissions today. It is very thin, like a traditional rejection. I don’t want to open it since it is her mail, but I was a bit worried.

I thought it was likely that she would be admitted to Lehigh because she is a girl who is interested in engineering, her stats are better than most of the applicants Lehigh has accepted from our school, she has solid ECs, and no candidate with her stats has been rejected (although they did waitlist one of them). However, you just never know for sure.

Now at least I will stop worrying about it. I still think they will admit her. Worst case, I think it could be a waitlist.

@Much2learn actually, their admissions letters/decisions only come out late March (March 24th or 26th, I believe). I think if you were to get a letter now, it would be an acceptance letter. They are sending out some acceptance letters early to those accepted as they are inviting them to a diversity weekend event.

@snow30 I emailed them

@obrigadaa That definitely would make more sense to me, in her case. The very thin look of it just worried me. Thank you for saving me a few hours of worrying.

@obrigadaa DD texted me that I can open it. You are right. It is an acceptance. Thanks for you input!

My daughter got an acceptance letter in the mail this Saturday. They are coming soon!!

is everyone getting a letter diverse?

@sailing6262 No.

I got accepted on Saturday too!!! They invited me to that event too

Any international get one?
