Hello, I am considering submitting my application for early decision to Lehigh University. Does anybody know the acceptance rate for this particular admissions process? I'm hoping it might increase my chances a bit, given it's my first choice. Grateful for any responses!
Lehigh University indeed has higher acceptance rates for early decision compared to regular decision. For the 2023 admissions cycle, the early decision acceptance rate was around 60%, which was significantly higher than the regular decision rate of around 22%. These rates can fluctuate each year based on the applicant pool, but generally, applying early decision can be beneficial if Lehigh is your top choice. Keep in mind that Early Decision is binding, meaning that if you are accepted, you must commit to attend unless the financial aid package is not adequate. Make sure to use Lehigh's net price calculator to see if the expected financial aid aligns with your family's financial situation.
