bump

I think that a 30 ACT is on the low end of the range, but your grades are good, and URM status will give you a little bump too. I think you will get in, if you visit the campus and show strong interest.

Sort of new to college confidential, whats a URM?

@Much2learn

URM = Under represented minority

Most frequently that would include Latino/a and African American students, but in Lehigh’s case it would also include female because they always have more male applicants.
