Yes, I believe someone with a 35 single siting ACT, a 4.0 UW GPA and a decent mix of EC’s has a high probability of getting Lehigh.

Lehigh itself says that applicants with 34-36 ACT (or 1500-1600 SAT) had a 38.6% chance of admission to the Class of 2020. More specifically, 558 admits out of 1,447 applicants with such scores.

Now, 38.6% is certainly a decent chance, and it is clearly higher than the overall acceptance rate of 26.1%. But … is 38.6% really “a high probability”? I would have to say no.
