how important is interest?

<p>does anyone know how lehigh accounts for demonstrated interest? i went to the junior open house in march, visited again this summer with a student interview and a group info session, another tour, and talked with a chemistry professor. i intend to apply there ED and have OK stats (1460 or 2190, top 15% of class, huge improvement junior year, challenging classes senior year, and some decent ECs), would all my interest help me in any way?<br>
thanks

<p>i wrote an entire essay on how i fell in lvoe with the campus and how the visit made me fall in love. i got in and got into the honors program. i think it all had to do with the essay.</p>

<p>You are female and are not from Pennsylvania, New Jersey, or New York. Add to that, you demonstrate considerable interest. If you are a minority, guaranteed. You are in.</p>
