Accepted students, has anyone been able to view financial aid?
That’s actually insane you got rejected
Does anyone have stats on this year’s admitted class? Acceptance rate?
@skier123099 Awesome High School achievements (and I’m sure thats just the beginning)!! Although you chose a crazy competitive major, I’m VERY surprised you got WL’d. Hang tough if Lehigh is your Dream School… otherwise, I’m sure you have/will have plenty of amazing options before you. Best of luck!!

Son waitlisted. 1470 SAT, 33 ACT, 8 APs, 4.1 gpa, numerous leadership positions. Very disappointed, as Lehigh was his first choice. Congrats to those who are in!
My son had to wait over 3 hours to log into UMD portal. Very stressful .
Waitlisted
SAT 1510
GPA 3.76 UW/ 4.76/5.3 W
All Honors and will have 9 APs
A few leadership positions
Female in engineering
Applied undeclared engineering
I think it doesn’t help that I had a date to go visit and I canceled and never rescheduled.
I accessed the financial aid and they did not meet anything

Accepted for CS (31 ACT, 4.0 WGPA)
But I was offered no financial aid due to missing of request on my financial aid checklist. Im really pissed because all the checklist said was “Clarify Business/Farm value and debt” without any forum attacted so I had no idea what I was supposed to submit. An with my EFC being 0 there is no way I could possibly afford with school with no aid.
Accepted for Civil engineering with the trustee’s scholarship. There were so many people waitlisted and rejected with better stats than me, I’m in a state of shock. Best of luck to everyone, the biggest thing that I’ve learned from college applications is to trust the process, chances are you won’t end up where you think but things happen for a reason.
@mrcruton how and where did you view your financial aid?
@helloooall Please don’t take my question as bragging or anything like that! I’m sympathizing. I just find it ridiculous how the reason you were rejected was because they didn’t have financial aid money to give you. Absolutely ridiculous.
Is anyone else still getting an error message when attempting to create an accepted students portal?
I am in the class of 2021 and I’m not sure if you can see financial aid on the portal but if you got aid it will definitely come with the acceptance package in the mail
Daughter accepted into engineering school. Makes up for disappointing WL earlier in the week. Looking forward to attending Candidates’ Day next month.
Accepted CS + Business
