Lehigh 2024 RD

Ahhh… the admission checklist items disappeared - see that now. Now just says, “The deadline to submit materials has passed.” Yes, before they release decisions they start making changes to the portal. Not necessarily an indication that something will happen this week, but we can hope!

BTW, Lehigh just announced they will be moving to online classes for two weeks in light of coronavirus.

hope they release soon… we probably won’t have admitted students days to look forward to in helping make our final decisions.

Is the weekend only for the US students, or do they invite international students too?

@Choppercabras - If you are referring to the diversity weekend, you will receive an invitation with an RSVP date if you are invited. I didn’t really know about it until the invitation came so I’m not sure if they invite international students. Wish I had more info. Perhaps call the office to inquire.

When does everyone think decisions are coming out?

Williams, Amherst, Cornell, etc. have posted their decision date. When will Lehigh?

I emailed…no reponse

Do we still have no idea of decision release?

gonna try emailing abt it

i heard back this morning…standard reply: by end of March

classic…

seems like Lehigh is always later in the month

I am so nervous. I want to go to Lehigh so bad :confused: I wasn’t able to visit campus and stuff to show interest but hopefully my essays were good enough.

This could get very interesting now folks… Governor Wolfe of PA just ordered all non life-sustaining businesses closed until further notice. This includes colleges and universities. Unless they are set up to work from home entirely remotely, I’d say they could have a problem releasing decisions anytime soon.

@Yocco2 - I don’t see it being much of an issue. I started working remotely from home this week and now I wonder why I ever had to go into the office at all. Anything that is on my desktop at work is on my surface pro at home including stored passwords. They can just hit the key from home and release the decisions.

when will Lehigh release decisions?

Thank you for your message. All regular decision applicants will be notified of their decision at the end of this month.

Tons of colleges have been closed and working remotely (including admissions) and decisions are all being released on time - in the 10 or so answers we’ve received.

does anyone think it could be today?

Yes, they sent all the students home, but profs could still work and teach from their offices. Previously admissions staff could have worked remotely and could still meet physically once a week for admissions committee meetings, etc. Working remotely from home is one thing. But they have been just been ordered to shut down their actual facilities, meaning they cannot meet in their offices, cannot print out and mail acceptance packages, etc. Will it make a difference? We’ll find out. However, something like this has never happened before in my lifetime, nor in anyone else’s, so be prepared.

If you have seen Lehigh’s portal, which I have experience using for over seven years now, you will notice it is not the most advanced technology. Hopefully things will still work out as planned. Good luck to all, and stay well.
