IBE and Early Decision

I can’t answer the first question with certainty but can say that typically colleges that have an integrated freshman time where declaration of major is done sometime in the sophomore year, it results in an ED having the same binding requirements as normal. In other words, if she gets accepted ED but denied IBE, she is still bound to attend because you are not applying to a college, but to the University. Again, this is what I’ve seen at some other colleges and I’m not sure if Lehigh is the same but perhaps someone else could respond to this.

With regard to her qualifications, I think she is an easy ‘in’. The average accepted applicants entry for 2015 was:
AVG ACT=30
AVG GPA=3.83
AVG SATM=710
AVG SATCR=660
AVG SAT=1370

I would like to suggest that she also apply U of Notre Dame for business as a reach.
