A Note on Admissions Data: We get our data from Peterson’s.

Did anyone else receive an email from Lehigh stating that they know a lot about you but need some more information? If so, did you click the link and it take you to a page that just verified your name, address, major? My son also received an email stating it would be within the week. Anyone else?
Only got the first email about updating the address. No email about decision timing. I think the notice about decisions only went to ED2 applicants. RD has a much longer wait.

Please help me and let me know, I really appreciate any honest chancing. Thank you.
“Late March” is what it says online. My guess is around March 20th-26th. Still am not sure though, I’d like to know what others think. Anyone know what their release date has been in past years?
Thanks for the notes on the RD dates last year. The wait is really killing us. We couldn’t apply ED (if no merit, can’t go) and Lehigh is the only school my son applied to that didn’t have an EA option. We’ve known about every other school that he was seriously interested in for two months now.
