Hi everyone, I know we have a while until decisions come out but here is just a page where people can share their thoughts
Hi. It’s gonna be a long wait that’s for sure. Just gonna try and not think about it a whole lot.
Is anyone else having problems with logging into their portal?
Mine’s fine. Yours working now?
Has anyone received any marketing emails from lehigh? My son has received several from other schools but nothing from lehigh…I am wondering if this means anything?
I don’t think I have. I can’t remember anything at least, so if they did it wasn’t effective haha
Lehigh sophomore here. First of all, good luck to all of you! Lehigh is an awesome place and I hope you all get in (probably not possible, but I can dream). Admissions are pretty unpredictable, so don’t make any assumptions. I got waitlisted at Lafayette (lol) and accepted to Lehigh on the same day, so anything is possible! Lehigh is very generous with financial aid (easily the best package I was offered). Don’t know if Lehigh gave a definite notification date, but check the portal at 4PM EST that day. They told everybody 5 when I applied, but I checked at 4 and it was posted. That’s all I have! I’m happy to answer any questions. Good luck!
Thanks (: If I do get in, financial aid will be the determining factor so I really hope that’s true!
Here is a great link to an article in the New York Times - How to Survive the College Admissions Madness. Lehigh is mentioned in the article! It might also be amusing for you to read the comments about the article. There are lots of people who share their own stories about where they applied, where the got in and where they decided to go.
Great article.
I got my early acceptance in the mail today! I am so happy!!
same! it sucks I cant take advantage of their transportation offer though…since I’m only an hour away 
But happy nonetheless!
edit: btw, if we applied to IBE, should we know with this acceptance letter? Or later on?
@maniactango @ncolonna were you guys regular decision applicants?
Early acceptance in March? Regular decisions not out yet…what are you both talking about?
I got my acceptance letter in the mail today as well. In the letter, it says “We are sending this letter to you in advance of other candidates, in order to invite you to visit Lehigh University during Diversity Life Weekend.”
Got my acceptance letter today too! So excited… RD applicant from TN. The letter (dated March 12) contains an invitation to the school’s Diversity Life Weekend, which is probably why the decision is sent out early.
I got my acceptance letter today as well and invited to the Diversity Life Weekend. Apparently decisions were sen out this past Saturday. I also applied RD.
Yeah, regular decision, but they notified certain people in advance. Not sure how they chose though.
When is diversity weekend?
Yea its an advanced notification of acceptance for the diversity life weekend thing
