ED chances?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Lehigh University

<p>ED application submitted to Lehigh University. Do you think I'll get in?</p>

<p>GPA: I don't know exactly, but I think it is over 3.9. First quarter senior year grades will be on transcript, they are all 4.0.</p>

<p>Rank: 26/592 (top 5%)</p>

<p>SAT: 580 reading; 670 math; 600 writing</p>

<p>-Took all Honors/AP maths up to Calc 1. Taking Calc II this year.
-Took honors Biology 1, honors chemistry 1, and honors physics 1.
-All other classes were HL. (Only other honors/AP classes offered at my HS were English)
-Distinguished Honor Roll all 4 years. (guess that's pretty obvious with a high GPA)</p>

<p>ECs:
-Been in Boy Scouts since 1997. Made Eagle Scout in 2007 after all those years of leadership and community service.
-Outdoor activites: hiking, camping, hunting, fishing
-Participated in PA Math League Contests</p>

<p>uhhh... I guess that's all the major stuff. Haven't seen them, but I guess my rec from my math teacher and guidance counselor should be alright. My essay was alright too; it talked a lot about my development of values and ability through my years in Boy Scouts.</p>

<p>Showed interest in Lehigh by attending an information session and tour, as well as mentioning some specifics in my "why Lehigh" supplement short answer.</p>

<p>Any thoughts?</p>

<p>Your SATs are lacking but your gpa and class rank are respectable. write a good essay, visit the campus, and do well your senior year. You need to show that you're a hard worker and that you will continue to do so at Lehigh. Lehigh is not an easy school, as some people may think it, and you really have to work for your grades. Lehigh has to know that you're prepared to take on those challenging college courses.</p>

<p>I applied ED last year with pretty similar stats and got in. If you showed you're interested that will definitely increase your chances as well. I showed a big interest and I think it might be what helped me.</p>
