@scarletred I’m in a similar situation as you. I suffered from some mental health problems with anxiety and depression and framed my essay around how I overcame those struggles and how it has made me want to help others, etc. and how my current university cannot support that. I’m kind of ticked off at the thought of them discriminating against anyone for mental health or other medical issues. I’m sure other factors played into the denial, but like you I have a feeling that was one of them.
Yea, tbh, lehigh wasn’t my first choice, but it is the first school I’ve heard back from so it still kind of sucks. Worried I may have a fatal flaw I’ve overlooked, but I suspected from the start that Lehigh (despite being less prestigious than the other schools I applied to) would be the most likely to reject me (read they didn’t like nontraditional, which I am).
Hope you have better luck with your other schools. I sure hope I do. lol
Hi, when were decisions relaeased? I did not receive an email alerting me as to what my decision was.
@disneyallstar Just look on the portal. They didn’t send an email. Make sure to report back your results.
Accepted to Business School. I am really shocked atm. Lehigh was my 2nd choice after Cornell.
@yankeebanger What is your cgpa?
@yankeebanger Would you mind sharing if you need a lot of aid?
@FollowtheMoon My GPA is 3.78 and I am upcoming junior.
@WordSmithNY I don’t need aid. Even though someone needs it, they can’t get it. Because Lehigh doesn’t provide any aid or scholarship to international transfer student if I am not mistaken. Sorry to see you are rejected. Good luck with other schools dude.
I think it was an advantage being international student here. Idk if they wanted diversity on the campus. I don’t even have the best GPA out there. Feels like I was lucky here.
Accepted as a sophomore transfer. Not gonna share my stats cause I believe that is trivial and any basic info to get the most basic reference is found online. But I definetly had a feeling for fit wise, personality, interests and the kind of environment I thrive in that lehigh would work out. So not going to say I’m shocked but it is exciting. I do need aid.
i got into lehigh business and econ.
sophmore transfer
3.83 GPA for fall semester w 2 business classes

@gigiiris Congrats! Where do you think you’ll be going instead?
@WordSmithNY thank you 
I’m thinking about going to UMiami because I got a decent scholarship. However, I still need to hear back from a ton of schools. I applied to USC and if I get in there I will go
@gigiiris Do you mind sharing why you would like to leave Skidmore? It is one if the schools my daughter visited. Thanks in advance!
@lilrhody there are two versions I can give you - long and short. If you don’t mind e mailing me. Please e mail glgilman8 @ gmail
Thanks @gigiiris! I will do that!
