So, Lehigh is my top choice rn. I’ve already visited, and am following/subscribed to its media. Is there any other way that I can show my dedication to this school?
connect with a professor from the department you are interested in. Look them up on the internet and email with questions and to introduce yourself
That’s what I mean though. Everyone is saying to email the college with questions. But what kind of questions?
Not sure if you have already applied, or are planning to apply in Fall 2017. If the latter, apply early decision.
Only apply early decision if you and your parents are in a financial situation to accept whatever financial package you receive. Every year there are students who apply early admissions and then are upset they didn’t get the financial offer they expected and then they want to try and back out of the BINDING agreement. Not a good situation.
I think you’ve already shown interest. If something comes up, go for it, but don’t go doing stuff just to show interest if it’s not legitimate (like don’t go bugging professors unless you come up with an actual question or concern). If they hold an open house in your area, attend. If they offer online chat rooms or admissions forums, participate.
Really familiarize yourself with their offerings and website and if you do come up with questions, ask. Sometimes questions arise concerning major requirements, general requirements, credit for AP or dual enrollment, clubs, etc. But always make sure you’ve exhaustively searched their website for the answer first.
Did you interview when you visited? If not, be SURE to interview. Interviews are not required, therefore doing one definitely shows interest. Interviews are offered in other areas if you can’t get back to campus.
