Lehigh 2025 - Waitlist

Let us know when you get off the waitlist and how you received the notice. I’m curious to see if they use the waitlist early like they did last year. Good luck everyone!

Do you know when the waitlist was used last year? Some time in April?

My son was waitlisted last year and came off one week later. My other son is currently on the waitlist. I imagine it will be different this year due to changing covid dynamics. Good luck!

Wow that’s great, thank you so much! And good luck to your son as well!

From what I read it seemed like the first batch got accepted off the waitlist a week after being put on it and then another batch two weeks later. I hope it’s that fast this year. Good luck!

did he send any updated grades or anything?

No. There was barely time. I imagine that this all hinges on Ivy day. As soon as those come out, an “Ivy Safety” like Lehigh will have an influx of kids declining offers as those kids get into their first choices.

That is so good to know, thank you!

Has anyone written a letter of continued interest (aka an appeal letter) to the AO for Lehigh? Is it expected?

Yes, my son sent one in right away. The waitlist letter mentioned reaching out to your counselor.

Not yet. Hopefully, it’s coming soon. Ivy League decisions came out today.

I think a batch of admissions will come out soon. Last year Lehigh admitted 1600 something out of 1800 something off the waitlist, so hopefully this year is the same. I sent in my LOCI as soon as RD released. Please let us know if any of you guys receive admission off waitlist.

From the trends last year, does anybody know when the waitlisted students started to hear back?

Last year Ivy’s released March 26th and Lehigh admitted some waitlist a week later on April 2nd & then again on April 17th. So who knows. What I do know is…waiting sucks! :wink:
