<p>I want a school with a good business school. I have a 32 ACT (they combine scores from different tests) and about a 3.6 uw, 3.9 w. I absolutely can't visit - I'm living overseas this year. Do you think I'll get in? Is business very quantitative? Do they offer merit aid or honors programs to people with my stats?</p>
<p>-I like Lehigh
-If you can't visit, at least try to be in contact with the Admissions Office. Ask questions about their business program. This is very important - Lehigh places great emphasis on student interest.
-Merit aid is stingy/highly competitive- Lehigh is almost Ivy-like in "need-based financial aid".</p>
<p>I love Lehigh. Just a freshman now, but I've been having the time of my life. Everybody I've met is really cool. Parties aplenty every night, though I limit it to thursday-saturday. The only business class that I have now is economics. My econ professor is incredible. Funny, explains things very well, and prepared us well for the midterm.</p>
<p>The only honors program is the one I'm in. It's called Integrated Business and Engineering and is exactly what it sounds like. Go to <a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=218483%5B/url%5D">http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=218483</a> for another thread where I've written more about IBE.</p>
<p>They do offer merit based aid, but its very selective. A girl from my hs that applied to lehigh got a great merit scholarship. She was somewhere in the top 5% of my class. I graduated hs with about a 3.6 uw gpa. Weighted was 4.3 or so from a few GT and AP courses. No merit aid, so I'm not sure if you'll receive any.</p>
<p>There's a good amount of foreign students and students from far away states. Met three hawaiians, there's a guy from el salvador on my hall. Plenty more that I haven't met. Just do like cclu said and contact admissions. Call or email and explain your situation, what you're interested in. Email a few professors in the business school.</p>
<p>yeah, i LOVE lehigh</p>
<p>I had my reservations about the whole "preppy party school" reputation but you really gotta be open-minded and check out what lehigh is about. The kids are actually really social, nice, and generally hard working. There's plenty of partying going on, but I've also met non-partiers who have a good time as well. Definitely visit!</p>
