InLoveWithLehigh,

It certainly isn’t that Lehigh doesn’t like you. Admissions at a smaller school is a lot more complicated than anyone who “chance” people would care to admit. Admissions has a set of goals they need to achieve with each class. So there are only 1,000 incoming students. First there are the athletes needed to fill the spots on the NCAA level teams. Then you have to have students for all the different majors and colleges. Then you need to start working of diversity of your class: geographical, racial, gender, socioeconomic etc. None of us can really judge the admissions decisions. Have you gone back and looked at all the kids with fantastic scores, grades and extracurriculars that don’t get into Lehigh each and every year? Harvard always says they could fill their incoming class 6 times over with the same level of talented kids. Best of luck to you. Any school you go to will be very lucky to have such a bright student.
