Hey guys! I wanted to make a form for the class of 2022. If you want, below comment your stats and we can update it as we get our decisions. I am going to make a group me too, if you want to join DM me your group me! i cant wait 
Glad I found this forum
Just applied last week!
My son was accepted CAS. FA on portal was sooo disappointing! Is it what will come in letter? I thought Lehigh capped loans at 5K but they want him to take out 7K. Also EFC is 10K more that their NPC estimated. Heartbroken.
Applied RD!
Strange question. Our daughter applied ED2 and we are waiting to hear. Today we got an email from financial aid asking us to clarify some information. We spoke to the counselor and she was able to give us very specific info about the (nominal) aid our daughter would receive. However our daughter has not been accepted yet since ED2 decisions do not come out for another month. Is that a good sign that the counselor could tell us exactly what she would receive as a grant and loans? Why would they bother calculating all that if she was not going to be admitted? Or am I reading too much into this? Any thoughts?
@Mom1997 It doesn’t mean anything. I think they haven’t started reviewing the ED2 applications yet, and even if they started, this still doesn’t mean anything.
They just want you to complete all of the required documents to start reviewing the application because the can’t review it unless it is complete.
good luck.
Disagree with @totobotoboto … FA office would not bother to get better detail on financial info. unless they were working on a likely admitted student.
@LehighHawkDad Thanks, I hope so! They were very specific on numbers. They caught a mistake we made on the CSS and gave us the grant and loan amounts both with the mistake and with the correction. They also must be working on ED2 already since they release by mid-Feb (last year 2/7 I think).
Yeah I got the same email but nothing with specific numbers, should I be concerned?
@pennplz I would not be concerned. We got the specifics when we called to find out what information they needed because the email was vague. They were very nice and helpful on the phone. Hoping that we heard from them at all is a good sign. Good luck!
@LehighHawkDad I know a student who applied ED2; until now, he hasn’t submitted his certificate of finances yet. He didn’t receive any email from the university.
@Mom1997 thank you, to you as well!
@totobotoboto What is “certificate of finances” ? I thought EDII applicants have to submit their financial information by Jan 1.
It’s simple math… look at the number of applications compared to admits… then, consider the resources of a financial aid office. No way FA office will go so far to do due diligence on a kid and family situation that has no chance of admissions.
I’m thinking certificate of finance referred to is probably Lehigh’s financial aid application. I am the getting more anxious everyday Mom of a D who applied RD- our financial aid application is in but RDs isn’t due until Feb 1st. I would think it is definitely a good sign when financial aid is taking a close look at your application- agree there is no way they are going to do that for everyone who applies! My D has applied to engineering with good stats but I worry - when I look at schools naviance- Lehigh has denied several students with higher stats in the recent past- these students did end up at ivied and perhaps they didn’t show interest…but Lehigh does tend to try to figure out who will enroll- I’m hoping my Ds one visit was enough- great school I believe would be wonderful experience!
Best wishes to all the EDII applicants!
@mccurk Good luck to your D as well! My D also applied engineering RD and then converted to ED II after she visited. So anxious to hear since she is simply in love with Lehigh. Not sure what the Certificate of Finances is, they requested a Parent Asset Clarification Worksheet from us. Good luck!
I got an email saying that my financial aid app was incomplete, but on my portal everything is checked off…I submitted everything on 12/27 so there’s no way that the system didn’t refresh that… anyone else?
We also got a mail that the financial aid application has not been completed, but then I haven’t sent anything yet.
