<p>Hello, can anyone give me some info on Lehigh University. It would be most appreciated</p>
<p>I am looking to apply there in fall of 08 as a Marketing major and I would like to know what the look for in particular compared to other colleges of business. Im in a two year school now, and I have researched them a great deal and really love the campus/facilities. What do they look for in Essay responses, letters of Rec, grades, ect..</p>

<p>Lehigh</a> University - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia</p>
<p>anything specific?</p>
<p>I visited a few weeks ago and have a cousin who attended.</p>
<p>Pros:
-Very good academically (31st Univ. in America on USNews if memory serves me right)
-Best programs are in engineering, though pretty strong all around
-Beautiful campus in a wooded valley...think stone and ivy-covered, built into the side of a mountain
-Convenient to NYC and Philly, obviously
-They must have a decent pre-med/pre-dental program, because my cousin got into NYU for this major but turned it down in favor of Lehigh
-Lots of decent food on campus
-If you're Jewish, there's a big Jewish population
-Perfect size (5000 undergrads) means it's big enough to have lots of options, but small enough to have a personal feel if you want it</p>
<p>Cons:
-It's in Bethlehem, a kind of depressed town built around a shut-down factory
-Tuition is high; therefore just about all of the students are rich, preppy suburban kids (maybe this is a pro for some people)
-I didn't get the impression that it was terribly intellectual. I know everyone who goes there is bright, but outside the classroom people only talk about the football rivalry w/ Lafayette. It's definitely not a nerdy school.</p>
<p>Pro/Con:
-Huge frat/sorority scene
-Athletics play a pretty big role</p>
<p>Wow, well thanks. My biggest worry is that I am not going to be an incoming student from high schoo. Im going to be a transfer student. My gpa is a 3.5 and ive been in student gov. for 2 semesters and involved @ my school. I also have 2 teachers who are are going to write me very good letters. Im not a rich kid either ya know so im wondering if its gonna play a role in getting accepted. what are they going to look at the most and what can I do to make my app stand out the most</p>
