<p>You sound pretty much like the typical Lehigh applicant. Solid grades especially with an upward trend, solid EC’s, and good test scores. What will differentiate you is the subjectives: your rec letters, essays, and demonstrated interest. Put time into your app, interview if you live close by, and cross your fingers!</p>

<p>I was able to do a campus visit during my junior year and attended a small meeting with a Lehigh college counselor at my school this year. Did not get to do a one on one interview, but may consider that (depending on the circumstances) as the time gets closer. I have looked at the essays and will probably get started on them soon. Thanks for the advice!</p>
