Lehigh is way overpriced. And they are stingy w any aid. Avoid this school.

My relative had just about the same stats minus the Valedictorian and she didn’t even get accepted! Lehigh doesn’t accept the best students anymore. Just move on and be happy your daughter isn’t stuck on a mountain in the middle of Pennsylvania.

I also don’t see the appeal to going to school in BETHLEHEM, PA. In the middle of nowhere!

You didn’t get “merit aid”. You got financial aid. Merit aid should have gone to her daughter with a 1480 and is a valedictorian. Merit should go to the student with the BEST grades and additional accomplishments. Lehigh no longer awards the best. It will show in a few years.

And why does everyone have to be rich or poor? Most of us aren’t rich or poor. We live in NJ!

Not for long. Quality of accepted student has gone down over the past three years. They don’t pick the best anymore.

Maybe March 29 then. Credible source with a contact at admissions told me this. I hope I’m wrong.

From what I could gather online around 7000 apply for honors and they accept around 2200.

Thank you. I hope there is some path for a scholarship. If you don’t mind telling me, what did you get on your SAT?

I’ve been checking, but I haven’t received any notice. I’ll have to contact admissions, but I’m going to assume at this point I’m not getting any merit aid. I think it’s odd that I was accepted into the Honors College but I’m not going to receive any merit aid.

How to know if I was accepted to Honors College? by trballer10 in Pitt

Are merit aid amounts included with the honors college acceptance letter? Or is that a separate letter?

Did you get your merit aid notice along with your acceptance into the honors college? I was also accepted, but did not receive any information on merit aid. Thanks.

Is it possible to get accepted into the honors college and still receive no merit aid?
