I am extremely disappointed that I got deferred from Lehigh, in ED1 decision plan. I thought I did everything right from visiting/interviewing, contacting the regional admissions officers, etc. Lehigh is the only place I want to be. I want to know from deferred students, what you are sending in (as far as extra recs, activities, scores, etc). I have received the letter in the mail, and I want to hear what some of you are doing before I make any moves. Thank you!
We have been told to write a letter to the admissions officer emphasizing that a school is still your top choice and discussing new things that you have done since the app date. It should be significant and new information. It shouldnt be too long. Also the letter from lehigh will say whether they will accept another recommendation or maybe graded paper. Finally ask the school guidance counselor to call Lehigh and ask what you should do and/or why you were deferred.
Then get all your other apps done well and on time. Get interviews at other schools. Good luck.
And make sure you have a Plan B.
What were your guys’ stats?
