<p>My dad went to Lehigh University, I think for his PhD.
So how much does legacy play into acceptance?
Im going to use Lehigh as a safety school if I don’t get into Cornell and apply for the Business Program.
How tough is it to get in?
If im a match for Cornell, then I should easily get into Lehigh right?</p>
<p>Lehigh is difficult to get into. I wouldn’t consider yourself in for sure even if you consider yourself a match at Cornell. Lehigh is very competitive when it comes to admission.</p>
<p>Lehigh is now known for not being a safety school for the ivies. They will probably recognize you have legacy and great credentials but…you didn’t apply ED. They know why. Unless you show demonstrated interest and more interest don’t consider Lehigh a safety.</p>
