Anyone else apply for transfer admission this year? Let’s chat! Usually there is a thread started by now…
I did. It’s my reach school, 4.0 GPA at a community college with few ECs, as I was often taking care of my siblings while my parents worked. The portal says decisions come late March, really hoping I get in.
@Anco17 I think you have an incredible chance of getting in! I have a 3.9 at my current university and am in a similar boat as you with family obligations. I emailed yesterday and they said decisions will come out around mid-April. I think the portal is referring to first-year students. Last year transfer decisions came out April 10th, but I hope we hear sooner than that. I have a decent number of ECs and a minority background, which should help since I know they’re trying to expand their diversity numbers. Fingers crossed we both get in! 
What other schools did you apply to?
@wordsmithNY thanks for the words of encouragement! Hopefully, we hear back soon, I’d love to be able to plan ahead. I’m a minority also, but I feel like my ECs are on the low side, which could hurt my chances. Best of luck to you also! Hopefully I’ll see you there next year!
Alongside Lehigh, I applied to USC, Northeastern, Tulane, and University of Florida. Where have you applied to?
@Anco17 I’ve applied to Barnard, Villanova, Fordham, William & Mary and a handful of state schools for backup. 13 schools in total! I am obsessed with filling out applications. (Don’t ask why. I have no idea.) So far I’ve been accepted to every school that has released decisions. I have so much anxiety over this but I know it’ll all work out in the end.
@WordSmithNY That sounds good! You’re lucky haha, I sadly can’t afford to do that many applications. We’ll just have to wait and see what happens, nothing more we can really do now. I hope it works out for the best for both of us!
Portal says decisions come out late April.
@WordSmithNY I applied to similar schools.
Hey everyone! I applied business school. Here is my stats:
College GPA: 3.78
HS GPA: 3.8-3.9ish
Credits:60
Essay: Pretty good one
Recommendations: 2 from professors. Decent ones.
Good luck to you all. I also applied Cornell, NYU, BU, Northeastern, University of Miami
Your stats look good @yankeebanger My fingers are crossed for you! I hope we get decisions next week. Last year they were released on the 10th.
@WordSmithNY wow did not realize it was sooner. It says decisions will be announced in the late April on the portal btw.
@yankeebanger Yeah, I know. I think they just say that to cover their bases, in case they need more time. Someone told me it said the same thing last year.
Not much longer, a few more weeks at most.
@Anco17 I know, I’m so nervous but excited at the same time. I hope all of us get accepted! Lehigh is my top choice to transfer to.
Did you guys see the email? Decisions come out next week!
@WordSmithNY Yep, came here to say it. I hope we all get accepted, best of luck to everyone!
Was denied, but I expected it. Hope the rest of you got in!
Rejected.
Applied as EE with 61 credits and a 3.82 GPA
Had prerequisites, too, but also a medical withdrawal (which shouldn’t count but I bet it did)
Rejected. To say I’m surprised by this decision is a massive understatement. I’m upset, because Lehigh was my top choice but considering all the weird racial tension and other social issues at the school, maybe this is a blessing in disguise. I would really be interested in knowing what about my application turned them off. On paper, I am the perfect candidate: underrepresented minority group, good grades, great essay, decent number of extracurriculars, good recommendation… Who knows? The only thing I can think of is that my EFC is 0, and I would need a full ride. Fingers are crossed for the rest of you.
