<p>Hi,</p>

<p>SATs:
Writing: 610
Reading: 610
Math: 680</p>
<p>GPA: 3.334 UW, Weighted would probably be about 3.5 or 3.6
Class Rank: (brace yourself) about top 50% (our GPA runs the 4 point system and I always got 89%s)</p>
<p>Took all the AP classes possible. Even took honors for some classes that didn't offer AP.</p>
<p>EC:
Sound and Lighting technician at the local adult choir.
Heavy participation at Church and in local Youth Group. 5-6 years.
Violin for 12 years.
Local charity events: Soup kitchens, vocational bible camp for kids, etc.
Recreational Golf team (created by me)
Freshman Vice President/ASB</p>
<p>Work related EC:
Freelance Computer technician
Freelance Photography
Cinematographer (for fun)
Youtube Partner (shameless promotion here: Skatexplanation's</a> Channel - YouTube)</p>
<p>Paper topics:
Common App:
Personal Statement; Steve Jobs helped me realize that I had a passion for innovation w/ two examples of unique creations and how it ties in with my personality
Description of EC: Youtube partnership is fun and allows for full creative reign over my material. Niche marketing, (insert jargon here), etc.</p>
<p>Supplements:
1. Why Lehigh
Business and engineering are useful when separate, indispensable when together.
2. What class would I make mandatory?
Zen Gardening. Encourages peace, relaxation, concentration, and meditation. Crucial in times of personal chaos. Lasting life lessons.</p>
<p>And that's it! Let me know how I did! Feel free to link me to your "chance mes" as well!</p>
<p>Your SAT scores are pretty much within range for lehigh, and your ECs are really good. The youtube partner shows that you have other activities/hobbies and should definately help you. Your gpa and rank is a little on the low side, but your senior year AP classes and ECs should make up for it. Not to mention the interesting essays you wrote about. Overall, I think you have a good shot for Lehigh Did you apply EDII?
Can you check out my chance me please?

<p>Hey FakeSteez,</p>
<p>I’ll go item-by-item through what you gave me, and I’ll be as honest as I can:</p>
<p>Your SATs are on par for a Lehigh student. Unfortunately, your rank and GPA are below average. This doesn’t necessarily seal your fate.</p>
<p>Your extracurricular involvement is impressive, and your film work make you a unique applicant. Your essay topics are really interesting too.</p>
<p>I can’t really say for sure about your chances. It depends on if you applied RD or ED and what college you’re aiming for. If you’re going for Engineering, it’s a maybe. Business, it’s also a maybe. Arts and Sciences, probably yes.</p>
<p>Good luck,</p>

<p>Thanks for the feedback! </p>
<p>I am in fact an ED applicant.</p>
<p>Also, I mentioned that I was “undecided” in my application because I didn’t want to accidentally apply to an area of interest that is already heavily in competition.
However, I do plan to major in electrical engineering and minor in business (enterprise management).</p>
<p>Wow, congratulations. Welcome to Lehigh! I had a feeling that if you applied ED you might get in.</p>
<p>If you’ve got anymore questions, feel free to ask me.</p>
