@Freshuate I know you can still apply to West Virginia University and the University of Kentucky. Not sure what you want to major in but the engineering program at WVU is pretty strong and relatively cheap for out of state prices (about $40k a year out of state, you may get some merit aid). You could also attend these schools for a year and transfer. Best of luck!
I got in! I’m so excited Lehigh was my #1!!!
@Coll5678 I also got in but I’m a little worried about housing. I don’t really want to live in a Fraternity home but Lehigh only has a 2 year housing guarantee. Where would I live for the 3rd and 4th year?
@acron611 I know that the housing isn’t guaranteed but I think that there is apartment style or the different communities you can be apart of aside from greek housing. I think there should also be some options off campus.
@Coll5678 ok thanks 
@acron611 No problem!

Did you visit?
@justme143 no
Your resume is great.Only thing I can imagine is the visit coming from Pa
Gòod Luck
@justme143 True. Plus it probably didn’t help that I submitted my application about 8 hours before the deadline. Thanks though! I’m eager to hear from Bucknell who was my original number 1 at the beginning of this long, exhausting process.
Is the decision release varying among students? I still haven’t gotten mine.
Does anyone know the acceptance rates into IDEAS, CSB, and IBE?
50 for IBE
In 2012 IDEAS had 25 Students
Accepted to the IBE program.
@beholdsehkhaveer I don’t think so, but the decisions is not easy to find. You have to log in to your portal. Then you have to click on the welcome tab at the top and than about half way down on the right in the decision box is the notification.
Accepted as a Mechanical Engineer with a 31 ACT and 4.0 GPA. Top choice by far!
I didn’t get a penny in aid unfortunately and I could only attend if the total price got down to 50k per year… I really wish I could attend!
I think there are about 30/40 kids in IDEAS
Accepted!
GPA:3.3
New SAT:1310
