k so im a sophmore in high school next year and I want to know what gpa , sat, and extra’s i should have to get into one of these programs, I know past or current undergrad still lurk these forums… I only ask this because theres not damn application results for lehigh which sucks for future prospects.
Wow! I am so impressed you are thinking so far ahead. Wherever you end up going to school I am sure you are going to be very successful!
I think the thing that helped my son the most was taking the Kaplan Prep class. I would recommend you taking both the SAT and ACT without preparing to see which one you naturally do better on. My son then took the Kaplan class and they time it so a couple of days after the class ends you take the test. Our son wasn’t the ever the strongest test taker. He was able to bump up his overall score by 5 points.
I don’t think Lehigh looks for a perfect GPA. My son “ruined” his GPA by taking 5 years of Spanish because he really wanted to learn the language and it was hard for him. I think they want kids who are challenging themselves.
What are you doing this summer? What kind of opportunities exist in your town? Is there a college in your town? Have you thought about taking some online classes? Google Edx. There are a fantastic amount of courses available.
Lehigh looks at each student individually. Follow your interests. You are off to a great start. Keep us posted!
