<p>wheatley or jericho?</p>

<p>great neck south?</p>

<p>great neck south.. is there any reason why you want to know?</p>

<p>your schedule isn't very difficult which could hurt, plus Lehigh likes kids who show interest, as in kids who visit have a higher shot or kids who interview greater acceptance rates</p>

<p>ohh. well i went to an off campus session that they had... i dont know if that helps or not</p>

<p>well i know they reject really bright kids if they dont visit, i dont think ur grades will keep you out, but with lack of interest = low chance. your GPA is kinda low especially with only one AP under your belt, overall that is going to be you weakness if i was reviewing your materials-one AP.</p>

<p>haha i just wanted to know if i could guess your high school.</p>

<p>i think it's a low-mid reach.</p>

<p>as for interest, wouldn't EDII show enough interest? lol</p>

<p>I think that you have a good shot, assuming that you visited Lehigh and did an interview. This school is a stickler for that. Your composite SAT is in the top quartile, not so sure about your cumulative, though. Your GPA may be a little low, but it sounds like you had a rigirous schedule, and also your extracurrics seemed a little loose, as well. Still, If you had a decent essay, your scores are within range, so I doubt that they will reject you.</p>

<p>Also, come chance me at

<p>Not really, unless you can possibly explain how that session inspired you to apply. Anyways, your GPA isn't amazing, but an upward trend is generally viewed as a potential for growth and whatnot. The majority of your ECs don't really say anything about you except that you are Asian, and not having leadership isn't exactly a good thing. However, they at least showed that you did stuff outside of school. Plus, your scores are good for them, as they won't consider your Writing score which is not amazing. After all is said and done, I think that you have a decent shot, as you aren't their most qualified applicant but still have things going for you. The fact that you applied ED helps as well, because they admit over 50% through ED. Good luck!</p>

<p>Chance me please! <a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/621725-took-risk-blew-any-hope-left.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/621725-took-risk-blew-any-hope-left.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>thank you everyone! i will chance back to those who replied.
can anybody else chance me. the more opinions the better!</p>

<p>also, the sat 2's wont hurt me right? i'm not sure about that part</p>

<p>They don't require them or mention them as being recommended, so they might not even look at them, or they will but disregard them because they don't factor in to their admissions process.</p>

<p>PS take this with a grain of salt, I'm not an insider in admissions offices, these are pretty much my guesses as to how they would work through a situation like that.</p>

<p>i think it said somewhere that they are recommended but not required.
but thanks anyways :)
someone else chance me please!</p>
