<p>Show interest in the school and odds are you’re in.</p>
<p>Lehigh is big on increasing diversity, so that should help you. Also being a first generation student should help. Your AP score is solid. Your ECs are pretty typical, but as long as you’ve shown involvement (preferably leadership or achievement of some sort) in them, you should be fine on that front. Without more details, it’s too hard to judge the difficulty of your schedule. Is pre-AP the same as or similar to honors classes? Normally, I’d say your GPA looks decent, but your class rank is the alarming. 95% of the entering class of 2015 is in the top 10%. Show interest in Lehigh (visit the campus if possible), get a bit more involved your clubs, and if you can, raise your rank to better your chances. Overall, your profile is pretty strong but has its weak points. I do think you have a fair (but not guaranteed) chance for acceptance, so definitely apply. If Lehigh is your first choice school, I’d encourage you to apply ED to get another admissions boost, but since you need financial aid, you probably shouldn’t.</p>
