Hey there, I disagree your SAT score is low. A 690 in math is in the 91st percentile which is excellent. 650 in critical reading is in the 90th percentile. Okay, your writing is a little lower - but writing is not the most important skill for an engineer. Besides, Lehigh has a great required English class for all freshman that really emphasizes writing AND they have a great writing lab that will give you plenty of help. Looks to me like Lehigh would love to have you. Of course, with a small school nothing is ever a guarantee. Have you been to visit? Make sure you sign in with the admissions office!!! Demonstrated interested is a deal breaker, I think. The only other factor I could see would be if you needed a lot of financial aid. I think you are an excellent fit for Lehigh. But no one can really know what your chances are when only a thousand students are admitted each year. Best of Luck!!!
