Hey, #rathin. Your scores are obviously there. IBE is, by far, the most selective program at Lehigh… 1200-1500 apps for 50 spots, so diversity and full pay and intangibles will matter. IBE grads to as well as any grads in the country afterwards, so… worth your time. With the stampede into STEM and biz these days, I am guessing it will be a rough road RD for IBE, but best of luck! check out this article… http://www.economist.com/blogs/graphicdetail/2015/10/value-university
Lehigh is pretty partial to scores, especially in the IBE program… of course, if you can help the wrestling team, that is a plus… the big sport at Lehigh. Scores are solid… IBE program cares a lot about soft skills as well as hard skills… also advantage to be female. Good luck!
