NY, female (school does not have class ranks)
Applying ED2
I visited and interviewed as well as stayed in contact with admissions counselors
also funny story, this weekend I spoke with a grandfather of children I’ve been babysitting for, and he is on the board of ED for Lehigh. He said he would write me a recommendation!! (does this increase my chances?!)
(Would it be smart to visit again in early January, even though my application would have already been sent just to show even more interest?
Sat- 1820 (I know its low, I’m a very bad trust taker)
Gpa- 93%
essay/supplements- very very good
Freshman year overall average- 94%
Sophomore year overall average- 95%
Junior year overall average- 84% (really went down) (I mentioned at the end of the common app the personal problems within my family that caused this drastic drop)
Senior first semester- I’m estimating about 88-92%
