2017 Lehigh RD Applicants' Discussion Thread

<p>Leighhopeful - </p>

<p>15 schools? That’s the most I’ve ever heard someone apply too. What an honor that Lehigh won!</p>

<p>PaMom -</p>

<p>I’m also BioE (or BioMedE, depending on the school). You’re correct, sometimes that can be a competitive major to get into given the large popularity it has gained in the past few years. And from what you’ve said, your son showed plenty of interest in Lehigh. </p>

<p>Any word on a decision day, yet?</p>

<p>do u guys think the mail will come today??</p>

<p>Not in today’s mail here in NY…</p>

Yeah haha I know it was a lot but 5 were california schools because of the cost, 5 were definite reaches, and then the remaining it could have gone wither way.
Lehigh has always been one of my top choices though so Im excited!
I hear back from Duke in an hour and a half but that was my biggest reach so Im positive I wont get in.
Im basically just waiting for my lehigh financial aid package and that’ll determine my decision so I hope its good so my parents let me go!</p>

<p>I applied to either 13 or 14 schools. Is that bad, do you think? Applying to so many schools?</p>

<p>I’m really nervous about Lehigh as well. The GPA is a little higher than mine but my SAT is higher than their average. I know Lehigh is really focused on interest, and I can’t say that I’ve visited. I did follow them on Twitter and got a followback, if that counts? Haha.</p>

<p>So damn nervous. I really want to get in. It’s pretty much either this or RPI, which I’ve already gotten accepted to.</p>

<p>I’ve applied to five other schools - Rutgers, RIT, Northeastern, Drexel, and TCNJ. Lehigh is by far my top choice…and I think it’s definitely the most prestigious school on my list. Hopefully that will help me? Lol…I’m extremely nervous just like everyone else…</p>

<p>I applied to six places. I’m probably going to commute to temple if I don’t get into Lehigh.
Temple, Pitt, PSU, Ursinus, Drexel, and Lehigh.</p>

<p>Rejected to Duke…as I expected! So basically its between lehigh, cal poly slo, and uc santa barbara. But I reeeeally want lehigh!</p>

<p>OK so we find out Friday after 5?</p>

<p>a day after Ivy Leagues… coincidence or not?
Anyways, I’m still very anxious about lehigh.
Good luck everyone!</p>

<p>Hey I was wondering if anybody from the New York area has heard back for regular decision yet?</p>

<p>@Laurenn222 still waiting on Long Island.</p>

<p>AFAIK it’s going to come out on Friday 5PM EST.</p>

<p>I applied for an IDEAS degree but didn’t receive notification…does that mean I’m rejected for that program?</p>

<p>I got canned by two reaches already, and one match. Ugh.</p>

<p>Do you guys know if the financial aid information will be online as well? Or are we going to have to wait for snail mail?</p>

<p>why is the portal down?</p>

<p>Portal is down for me as well. I tried Chrome, firefox, and explorer. No luck</p>

<p>Either it crashed because too many people are trying to access (a lot of Ivies are releasing results today I think), or they are loading decisions. Let’s hope it’s the latter and get this over-with. Good luck to everyone!</p>

<p>I feel like they have to be putting decisions up…They said Friday and gave no indication of today. I get that ivies came out today so people might be checking, but it can’t be THAT many people checking to crash the servers…</p>

<p>rejected from Cornell :frowning:
Lehigh and Rochester’s my last two schools. hopefully they are putting decisions up now.</p>
