Lehigh chances?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Lehigh University

After thorough research, I’ve decided that Lehigh is my #1 school, will be applying ED1 next fall.

I’d need high financial aid, near full tuition, preferably full ride. I know that this is a huge ask at a need-aware university like Lehigh, but that’s what it is.

I’m also an international student as well, so I know that that won’t help.

Intended Major: MechE, with a minor in Aero. I’d also apply for IBE, but I don’t think I’d get in.

My EC’s:

Original research with the New York Academy of Sciences
Student at the Junior Academy of the New York Academy of Sciences
Recognised as a UTC STEM Scholar
Interned at ARM
Co-founded a software company that provides free software to non-profits, and other philanthropic organisations
School captain, founder of school eco-club, school magazine committee chair
Volunteer at local ashram, year-round

Scores:
SAT 1: 1550
SAT Subject Tests: Math 2: 790
Physics: 780
Maintained A+ grade average in school till date

@blackbird1287 I don’t know what Lehigh offers for financial aid for International students. However, you are very accomplished. I think you will have a good shot at IBE, if the aid can be worked out.

IBE here is very challenging for international students. A friend of mine from china has near perfect sats and a good TOEFL or whatever, and had 5s on PHysics 1,2,C, calc BC, APUSH, Chem, macro, micro and was still denied for ibe
