Your thoughts on your decision:
Any other comments:</p>
<p>regular decision decisions? what was i thinking?</p>
<p>5757: Are you a student at Lehigh or a senior in H.S.??</p>
<p>Also, would chances of admission increase if applied ED rather than RD? This is my 1st and only child and I want to make sure I do things correctly!</p>
<p>Yes, chances would increase but ED is binding. Your son has to be positive that Lehigh would be his first choice. Judging from my own son this year, decisions change all the time.</p>
<p>Good luck! The admissions process is a crap shoot a lot of the time and next year seems to be even more crazy.</p>
<p>i am a senior in high school. i have heard that next year is when the population of baby boomer kids peak, and then it will gradually get better.</p>
<p>Oh really? That's very interesting; I had never though about that before. My parents and most of my friend's parents are part of the baby boomers... so after next year it gets better? </p>
<p>Lol so my little brother gets a boost in admissions while we all have to tough it out? O.o</p>
