@tesla123 My impression is that very few get merit based aid (~1%) at Lehigh. Unlike other private schools where you would probably receive around $25K/yr or more with those stats, that is not the case at Lehigh. Also, be aware that in terms of determining “need” based aid, Lehigh will count equity in your house as part of your ability to pay. I would caution against applying ED unless you are prepared to mortgage the house for Lehigh. ED acceptance is binding, and I don’t believe you would be able to back out for financial reasons solely because you don’t want to borrow against the house.
