I think you have a shot at Penn and Lehigh. Be sure to visit and that your essays reflect what you learned there and why you want to attend.

Lehigh will reject you if you do not show interest, so visit. If you can’t visit, see if they are coming to your area and meet with them then. Make sure they know you are really interested.

Also, being Asian is not a minus at Lehigh like it is at some schools. They have actually been increasing their Asian enrollment. That could be helpful to you.

@Much2learn That’s interesting, their Asian % is almost double the national average, which is still below most top tier schools, but not really underrepresented. A bit hesitant on Penn because of how much of a long shot it is, but I’ll most likely apply because the financial aid would most likely be the best of any school I’m applying to.

Any other low reach suggestions?
