applying to multiple programs?

Is it possible to apply to Lehigh regular decision for CAS but also apply for Combined Optometry and or Combined Dental Program? (as in, if I get rejected from the med programs could would I still be considered for the college?)

If you have the qualifications to gain Lehigh acceptance then you surely should not have a problem getting into med school. The question is with the upcoming Obama plan for health care why go into medicine?

well I feel very qualified on getting into Lehigh but I'm not so sure about its med programs since I don't have any med extracurriculars

Vanillasky, I don't remember this for a fact, but I believe a couple of years ago someone posted that he had been rejected from Lehigh/Drexel med but accepted to Lehigh. The academic standards for the undergrad/medical programs are much higher.

I suggest that you call the admissions office to find out for sure that your application will be both for the optometry (or dental) program AND regular Lehigh admissions.
