<p>I think you have a shot. Applying ED ONLY if you know this is your first choice and you're not too worried about aid. Most schools say they give they same amount of aid both rounds however, just because they say you'll be considered the same for aid, that doesn't mean you HAVE to be given any aid at all now does it? </p>

<p>Lacrosse is good and so make sure you emphasis it :)
Some other schools to look into for you would be Boston University....not sure what kind of a school you're looking for...</p>

<p>yes i think you would get a higher aid package for regular decision and im pretty sure your chances are good for getting in then. Your stats and your two visits already shows them your interest which they highly regard so ED would not be necessary. Its better to have more choices than be stuck with going to one school so try regular decision.</p>

<p>I think you have a good shot also. Some others to possibly consider are Gettysburg and Dickinson. Best of luck!</p>

<p>3.75 W or UW? If it's UW, you'll definitely get into Lehigh.</p>

<p>thanks for all your help lehigh is definately my number one choice but im too afraid about locking myself into a possibly $200000+ school. hopefully i get in regular decision</p>
