By the way, is anyone else here planning to major in Bioengineering? Good Luck to everybody!!

22

@Tom570 I’m doing bioengineering, but many classes/professors are shared between the two majors at Lehigh

23

Is it most likely they come the 15th? @knewman55 I was on the fence between BioE and ChemE, and our stats are very similar. Best of luck!

24

I have a 1430 SAT 760 M/ 670 rw.
However, I am an international student.
I’ve done the TOEFL ibt,too, and scored 108/120.
I have had a 4.0 GPA for the past 3 years.
Basketball varsity team captain, choir soloist, and journalist.
Strong recommendations and essays.
What are my chances?

25

Are we thinking Friday around 3? It is usually the 15th as long as they tweet the day before that decisions are coming… Also is it true that legacies get a call or get notified earlier? My brother went there so I’m not sure how strong of a legacy that makes me… I’m so nervous!!! good luck to all:)

26

I think so. BEST OF LUCK!

27

Does anyone know what time of day the decisions have come out in the past?

28

Just got an email saying, “Greetings from Lehigh! We know this is a difficult time of year as you anxiously await your admissions decision, but we wanted you to know that we’re preparing to release all admissions decisions on your Lehigh Portal this week.” GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!!!

29

Yup me too! Usually they tweet that the day before they post them… does that mean we will hear tomorrow?

30

I’m thinking Thursday or Friday

31

I’m sorry I’m being repetitive but I’m wondering if it’ll be tomorrow since I read online that they tweet that they are coming “later that week” the day before they post them… anyone agree?

32

@alva12 thats what i’m wondering too. I hope that they’re released tmrw but i’m still kinda expecting thurs/fri based on last year.

33

@alva12 there is a possibility, but later in the week is much more likely. (But I hope they come out tomorrow :-SS )

34

Okay… who wants to take one for the team and call the admissions office

35

Last year they came out about 4:00 pm EST

36

Who else was really hoping the email titled “Prepare for your admissions decision” was really going to give us our admissions :((

@Tom570 best of luck to you too!

37

I just got the email too. As much as I want it to come in tomorrow Im telling myself it wont be til friday so i don’t go crazy

38

And they haven’t tweeted anything yet so maybe they will on wed/thur before they release them.

39

Does anybody know when our financial aid package comes IF knock on wood we get accepted?

40

@knewman55 from what i’ve heard based on past years you should get that info in your letter, which is sent out the day everything is posted on the portal, as long as you got everything in before November 15th. If you were late with any part of the financial aid app you might have to wait to hear about your package.
