I will be applying to Lehigh Ed2, so in an few weeks likely. For refrence, I'm a very low income student, and Lehigh of course offers their "Lehigh Promise", promising little to no tuition for students whose families make less than 75k per year, and my family makes significantly less than that. If on the chance the finicial aid offer (if I get into ofc) isn't enough, would it be possible for me to back out of my agreement?

Hey everyone, I’m hoping to get some feedback on my chances for admission to Lehigh University. I’ve been struggling with a bit of imposter syndrome lately and questioning a lot of things. If you could kindly share your thoughts on my profile, I would really appreciate it!

Hello, I'm applying to Lehigh as an EDII candidate. While I'm completing my common app, it asks me about this program. I would like to hear some recommendations and reviews from the Mountain Hawks. Thank youu.

Hey guys, what’s the on-campus job scene for International students and any advice regarding this

I just viewed it now lol

It is thrilling. What do you all think about it?

Hey guys, anyone else feel like, after putting in all this effort for applications, you start second-guessing everything? I’ve been researching Lehigh non-stop since I submitted my app, and I can’t help but wonder, what if I don’t get in? Like, what happens then?

I know I could be doing other stuff to stay productive, but how do you guys deal with those moments when doubt starts creeping in? How do you stay positive or focused while waiting for the decision? Would love to hear how you all tackle this! 🙌

Hey guys, so prospective student here, hoping to hear from current students as I'm sure the SFS doesn't have much reason to be fully transparent on this matter.

In your experiences, is it worth it to apply to a bunch of scholarships when it comes to lehigh? For context i have a -1500 SAI so I'd qualify for stuff like the lehigh promise and what not. But do they practice scholarship displacement? Because I'd really like to know before applying to a bunch of scholarships just for them to replace the aid I would've already been offered.

I'm a current junior looking to apply ED 1 next year and was wondering if 1440 SAT is enough? Should I try get get in the upper 1400s or possibly 1500s range? Score distribution is 680 RW 760 M. Thanks in advacned.

Hi all:

I have a room in a 3 bedroom, 1 bath apartment on 4th street, literally 2 blocks from the goose and STEPS, that needs a tenant for Spring 2025. The rent would be 467/month and DOESN'T include utilities. I am open to negotiating rent.

Please let me know if anyone is interested, I can send photos/do a FT. It is an older unit (old, but somewhat clean) - think of the non-renovated houses you might see in other parts of Bethlehem.

hey everyone! ik there is a LOT of posts about this but im so anxious about getting in. I applied ED 1 under the IDEAS program (for environmental engineering and architecture) but my second choice is the PC Rossin College of Engineering.

stats:

• 4.0 UW (idk what my weighted gpa is)
• 300+ community service hours (and 2x local community service award member)
• test optional (i didnt even take the SAT/ACT)
• im ranked in the top 10% of my graduating class, holding a senior class government office positions
• 10-12 clubs, with 8 office positions (as of this year)
• varsity athlete
• A/B student taking almost all honors
• 1 ap class
• 2x founder of a local nonprofit organization

im a pa state resident and are also hoping to get into the Lehigh Commitment otherwise i cant afford Lehigh. what are my chances?

Hello everyone! I’m currently a senior and I was thinking of applying to Lehigh, I visited the campus a while back and I really love the school. Though, my grades are lacking quite a bit and I don’t know if I even have a chance at getting in. Since junior I have been slightly improving, currently I have an 3.4 UW and 3.7 W. I did hear that ED applicants have a higher acceptance rate, so should I apply ED or do RD? Or should I not try at all?

I can’t travel too far off campus, and it’s my first semester here. I was wondering what your favorite haircut spot is, that isn’t ridiculously overpriced?

That is the post. Community college scum.

Does Lehigh Admission consider this factor when accepting the applicant? If yes, how much it's impact on my chances to be admitted

Wish me luck!!!!
