Lehigh RD Class of 2023

Hey everyone! I was actually admitted last month on the 20th. The email said something about me being chosen from a small cohort of students to receive advanced notification of their decision. I’m honestly surprised I got in, being I have a 3.9 GPA along with a 27 ACT. I strongly believe meeting my admission counselor during a college presentation saved me and is the reason I got in.

@penairving wow, congrats!!

Penairving - excellent! Students forget that they are way more than their test scores - you obviously are what Lehigh is looking for in a student. Congrats!

Hey everyone! I applied RD and I got an email in January saying that they recommend that I apply for the performing arts scholarship. Is that a good sign?

I think they send that to everyone who puts down theater as an extracurricular I got that too

I also thought maybe it was a good sign but as everyone got one, I don’t think it is anything significant.

my daughter reached out to her ac last week and was told that the decisions would be released this week. She didnt specify which day. Good luck to everyone

Friday the 22nd would be consistent with previous years.

I couldn’t submit IELTS which they said they need. Should I expect any positive news from the LAO

you should reach out to admissions to see

Just got an email stating: Greetings from Lehigh! We know this is a difficult time of year as you await your admissions decision, and we wanted you to know that we’re preparing to release admissions decisions on your Lehigh Applicant Portal within the next week.

Is it a problem that my mid-year report shows up as not being sent on my portal? I don’t remember that box being there on the checklist before, have y’all sent your’s?

@Youngmis123 Stop with the chance me, no one can tell you with any degree of accuracy whether you will get in. You’ll know in a few days. Good luck.

You should check with your guidance counselor at school and make sure she sent your midsemester grades. Mine is checked off. @mountainmama19

@gsbc12 Just emailed my Lehigh counselor about it. I really hope this doesn’t affect my application. I go to a huge school and my counselor is really bad about sending transcripts so I didn’t realize it was missing until now.

@gsbc12 Do you remember when that box came up on your portal? I swear checked not that long ago and didn’t see it but I could be wrong. I’m just terrified now that this will affect my application and chances for merit scholarships.

I remember it being there since after ED2 came out

I got that email too. Scared the crap out of me lol

@mountainmama19 My admissions checklist says that the deadline has passed…where do you see the request for mid-year grades? Can’t you ask your guidance counselor at school?
