Tips for Lehigh?

<p>I'm really hoping to be accepted to Lehigh this year, and I was wondering if anyone who has been accepted in previous years has any advice? I'm already planning on applying ED... Is there anything specific they really want to see on an application?</p>

<p>Just comparing my son, who was accepted and is attending, and his friends who were not accepted - I would say the differences were:</p>

<p>High SATs and always took the hardest courses he could
His essay was very unusual
He visited the campus - 100% of those who did not were denied.
He had more community service and leadership</p>

<p>Thanks, and congrats to your son!</p>

<p>And yeah, they really stressed how important the campus visit is when I went there.</p>
