<p>No, it isn’t. I’m a white male from NJ, so I’m a member of the most common group of people at Lehigh.</p>
<p>I was told that Eckardt chooses its members based on HS GPA, AP Scores, and SAT scores. They said that the top 150 applicants each year are invited to be in the program and those invites usually yield ~15-20 people per grade who actually enroll at Lehigh and accept the offer. So if the likely letter I got was based on the Eckardt program, only ~150 people got them.</p>
