  I have showed a lot interest in Lehigh by constantly sharing my interest in Lehigh to the admissions representative through email several times. Last Summer I went on a tour of the campus and attended an information session. In addition, I attended the View at Lehigh University in September.  As result, I instantly fell in love with Lehigh and decided to apply Early Decision I. On my school naviance, the students have about a 28-30 on the ACT and a 3.8-4.0 GPA on average. Also, no student in my high school is applying for Early Decision at Lehigh. Since, there are students in my school that have better standardized test scores, does that mean I won't get accepted?

50/50 shot, applying ED helps a lot but your ACT is low.

Lehigh does NOTTTTTT just look at your academics. They look at your interest, passion, and love for Lehigh. Lehigh is so much bigger and better than just academics. Lehigh looks at how you will thrive and succeed at Lehigh. My SAT and AP scores were low for Lehigh and I had no AP credits, but that doesn’t mean I stopped believing. I had so many other factors that Lehigh accepted. Pour your heart out. Acceptances go out on the portal and through snail mail. I wish you the best and congrats on your further journeys!

Did you get in??

You bet I did! Loving it.
