<p>I never answer these chancing threads since it’s impossible to read an adcom’s mind. Having said that, it struck me that you have almost identical stats to my daughter who couldn’t be happier in her 1st yr at Lehigh. Stats are not all that Lehigh looks at. Lehigh likes applicants who show interest so I would suggest you visit…and write a good essay…I think you have a very good shot at being admitted. </p>

<p>Here is a breakdown of the class of 2015:</p>

<p>Good luck.</p>

<p>thank you so much! i know it’s difficult to tell, but i’m narrowing down my choices and want to only apply to schools where i at least have a shot.</p>

<p>Did your daughter have similar math sat stats? I Know I’m below the middle 50th percentile, so I hope that won’t be a problem because I’m not planning on majoring in engineering.</p>

<p>As I recall her scores were 720CR and 620M and 700W…but I think she might have only submitted her 31ACT composite b/c she was worried about the math too… and Lehigh was her #1 choice…sorry no help I know…still think you’ll be fine.</p>

<p>Stats look good, Lehigh is a Match for you, show interest and you’re in.</p>

<p>Lehigh is one of those schools that really value showing interest, so VISIT, take the tour, if you have questions not answered online about a major or program you are interested in, ask the admissions office to connect you with a professor who can answer those questions.</p>
