First, I have pretty strong legacy for Lehigh. My brother, uncle, cousin, and grandfather all attended.
I visited campus on record twice, however I think they will understand I am pretty familiar since I’ve visited all throughout my childhood.
I’m applying for the Computer Science and Business Program
Stats:
GPA:
92/100 weighted
SAT:
1370/1600 (superscore): 570 R, 800 M
Math 2 Subject Test:
750
ACT (breakdown)
26 E, 33 M, 27 R, 32 S C:30
I just took the December ACT. If my composite does not improve to a 31 I probably won’t submit the ACT since I think my SAT would be better. Should I submit both though if I get a 31+?
High School: I go to a public school but it is top 50 in the state. It was just awarded with the Annual AP District Honor Roll for Significant Gains in Student Access and Success by College Board (425 schools receive this)
Recommendations:
Probably not that great. Never had to visit my guidance counselor throughout high school other than for scheduling so she didn’t know me very well however I did fill out my brag sheet in detail for her. My English teacher was probably decent, but she got flooded with requests so she could have rushed through it.

Essays:
Pretty confident in my common app essay, worked for a while to revise it. Planning on talking about legacy for the “Lehigh and You” essay and possibly doing the “What would you tweet about Lehigh” essay since it won top ten most creative prompts this year and I feel like everyone is doing the one on characteristics of success.
