What's the process to request an interview with Lehigh University?

If I'm interested in interviewing with Lehigh as part of my application, how do I go about making that request? Is there anything specific I need to prepare or submit?

For Lehigh University, you’re not actually required to request an interview yourself. Instead, they offer interviews to those who apply in the Early Decision or Regular Decision rounds. Upon submission of your application, you'll receive information regarding interviews.

These interviews are conducted by Lehigh alumni or admissions staff, and they tend to be interested in discussing your academic interests, extracurricular activities, and why you're interested in Lehigh.

Preparation-wise, it might be helpful to review your application, including the specifics of what you wrote in your essays. That being said, remember that these interviews are not meant to be stressful. Instead, this is an opportunity for you to have an engaging conversation about your high school experience, interests, and ambitions, as well as learn more about Lehigh from insider point of view.

Make sure to also come with a list of questions about Lehigh. It's a chance for you to ask things that aren't easily found on the university's website. For example, you could ask about the interviewer's personal experiences at Lehigh, the school’s culture, or specifics about your intended major.

Remember that interviews, like all parts of the application process, should be taken seriously. Dress appropriately and be punctual. That goes a long way in leaving a positive impression. Best of luck!
