Lehigh Transfers for Fall 2016

I’m currently applying for CS.

Has anyone been admitted?

I have applied and have not heard back yet.

Haven’t heard back yet, applied for marketing

Applied for econ. Still haven’t heard back. Anyone else?

Is there anyone receive the decision? Why my portal shows the decision of class of 2020. I am a transfer applicant.

did u hear back yet?

@AndyG18 Did u hear back ?

@NYUtodolist Yes, I heard back today and got wait listed. My portal also says class of 2020 though I am a transfer applicant as well. The dates for which my admission letter is mailed out, and the date to accept my spot on the wait list is outdated (March 28th and April 17th). What this means, I don’t know. I’ll be calling them later today.

We re same, I called the office, they said the decision will be sent out today, and we should ignore this outdated one, this is not the decision for transfer. Did you refresh now?

Wait so the one that says that we’re wait listed and class of 2020 isn’t the transfer decision? Just checking because that confused me when I saw it on my portal!

@RachW33 Should not be that one, I also got the same thing. I called the office in the morning, they said the decision will be sent today.

@NYUtodolist ahh okay thanks! And so the wait continues…

So I also got a waitlist notice in my student portal…
@NYUtodolist I called today too (trying to get in as an engineering transfer student) and they told me that they are working on correcting the dates and getting the link fixed (if you click to fill out the accept waitlist form it says it’s expired) but that the decisions will remain the same, if you got a waitlist notice, you’re waitlisted, they’re just updating dates and the link to fill out the acceptance form.

I’m really hoping whoever I spoke to was mistaken and you’re right - this one should be disregarded - but I’m not optimistic that’s the case. Good luck everybody.

@ODarling Yeah, I just updated my portal, and the date and file is updated, but why are we all wait listed, is there anyone got accepted?

Yep. It’s updated. Still waitlisted. Best of luck!

Is there anyone get accepted. I am wait listed, it is so weird that most of us are wait listed.

I was wait listed as well. What are the odds we get in after being wait listed as transfers?

@LehighNum1, the odds are very slim in Lehigh.
Last year out of 1296 waitlisted students, only TWO were later offered admission. (https://www.college-kickstart.com/blog/item/waitlist-admission-rates-and-notification-dates) and I’ve read equally discouraging statistics about previous years on other forums.

I personally have 53 credits at a local community college and my GPA is 3.943 (all A’s except for one single B). I can only imagine that a big contributing factor to my waitlist status is that there have been gaps in my education (I married right out of high school and didn’t enter college right away… I worked while my husband attended university. I also took a year off when I had my son). Otherwise, I’ve always been an impeccable student. I’m not sure exactly what my plan is from here… I only applied to one safety school (Temple) and now I’m wishing I would have given myself more options… What do you all plan to do next?

I’ve read about their low admittance on the wait list for normal decision, but I wasn’t too sure that included transfers as well. I assumed there must be a separate list for transfers since normal decision people find out if they got off the wait list by april/early may and transfers don’t find out until June.
