<p>I'm an international student from Vietnam. I'm currently finishing up my 2nd year of the International Baccalaureate Program. Before that, my freshman and sophomore years were completed in San Francisco, California.</p>

<p>Here are my stats</p>

<p>GPA: 6.73/7
Courses:
History Higher level
Economics HL
English A2 HL
Vietnamese A1 HL
Math Studies SL
Environmental System SL</p>

<p>2 Honors classes in 10th grade, all A's</p>

<p>Predicted grade = 40/42 (43/45)
Top 10%</p>

<p>SAT:
CR: 650
Math: 610 :(</p>

<p>it doesn't seem like Lehigh takes Writing score into consideration (or does it?)</p>

<p>Good community service, great internships & part time job, good extracurricular activities</p>

<p>Great teacher recs & counselor recs, extremely good rec from employer</p>

<p>Demonstrated interest: I think I've shown my interest very well. The representative from Lehigh came to our school and I'm certain that I have shown clearly that Lehigh is my 1st choice. I believe my "why" essay is very good also.</p>

<p>Will be asking for fin aid, about 1/2 tuition&fees</p>

<p>My SAT's are low, but I'll retake them this week, although it wont be on time for ED. Yet, what do you guys think of my chance of getting in? :)</p>

<p>Lehighgirl,
I think you have a very good shot. Your international background should help you. What school in San Francisco did you go to? I live there and also plan on applying ed to lehigh.</p>

<p>I agree that you have a good shot. Good luck</p>
