<p>So I’m visiting lehigh on sunday and I have an interview with one of the directors of the IBE program and I was wondering if any one else has had one and what to expect.
Ive aleady had a regular interview with one of the admissions counselors when she came to California but Im guessing this will probably be a little different
Soo yeah all advice is appreciated(:</p>
<p>Also, what should I wear since its going to be so cold?</p>
<p>Be prepared to answer what might possibly be a few uncomfortable questions from Admissions. If you are applying RD they often ask what other schools you’ve applied to so don’t reply with any Ivies, Stanford, etc. as Lehigh seriously hates being used as an Ivy safety school. Think about answering the question of if you what to attend Lehigh then why didn’t you apply ED1 oe ED2. For sure don’t say you are first waiting to hear back from Princeton, Cal Tech or Stanford. You have geographic diversity and gender on your side. President Gast was an engineer at USC and taught at Stanford. Ever since she took over at Lehigh they have been accepting plenty of students from CA and a large number of female engineering majors. Tell them Lehigh is your #1 school choice and if accepted you would definitely attend…if true. Good luck!</p>
<p>Thanks @WaitingDad!
So if they were to ask me where I applied should Notre Dame and Duke count as schools that I should omit?</p>
<p>Notre Dame and Duke would normally not cause Admissions to be concerned but you surely don’t want to mention you would like to go to Duke… especially when Lehigh gave them a nationally televised basketball whooping last spring (lol)! Basically, just don’t mention the Ivies and you’ll be in good shape. My older son’s frat president came from CA and he picked Lehigh even though he had double Yale legacy behind him and his younger brother is also now at Lehigh. Take a look at the Lehigh LipDub 2010 on U-tube if you haven’t already to get a good view of the true Lehigh as the school will be extremely quiet this weekend. You’ll see why Lehigh has one of the highest sibling population of any schools.</p>
