<p>So my father graduated from Lehigh in the late 70's, and I applied this year for the Fall of 11. At the info session, lehigh said they like legacies, but how much of a boost will this legacy give me? I feel that I'm definitely qualified for Lehigh, but will this pretty much guarantee my acceptance? Any feedback would be appreciated.</p>
<p>bump please</p>
<p>Showing interest is good.</p>
<p>Having a legacy is very good.</p>
<p>My best friend is a triple legacy or something like that: Mom, Dad, and older brother all went to Lehigh. He was a little less qualified than I’d say the average Lehigh student may be. He still got in.</p>
<p>I can’t tell you how much of a boost it will be, as I am not an admissions officer, but I would hazard to say that you have a very good chance.</p>
<p>what if by chance i have a 2170 sat and a 4.6 gpa, plus the legacy. How are my chances looking?</p>
<p>You should be fine. I wouldn’t worry. Lehigh is an amazing choice by the way! Great fun…</p>
