Hey guys, I'm applying to Lehigh and I'm struggling a bit with the supplemental essays. Can anyone offer any advice, strategies, or good resources to help me create some killer essays for Lehigh?
Thanks!
Hello there! At Lehigh, like any college, the supplemental essays are a chance for you to showcase who you are beyond your general application and essay, and demonstrate your unique fit at Lehigh specifically. CollegeVine has a blog post breaking down Lehigh's current supplemental essays, to help you take full advantage of this opportunity to share more of yourself with admissions officers: https://blog.collegevine.com/how-to-write-the-lehigh-university-essays.
Additionally, CollegeVine offers both a free peer essay review tool and paid reviews by expert college admissions advisors. Either of these resources can help you get a better sense of what's working in your essays and places that still need some improvement.
Finally, remember to give yourself plenty of time to write and revise your supplemental essays - the first draft is almost never perfect! With patience and effort, you'll create essays that show Lehigh your genuine interest and highlight your best qualities. Good luck!
