What We Look For We seek students who are eager to learn, consistently work hard, and desire to make a positive impact in their communities and world. As a result, some factors we consider when reviewing include the student's character, curriculum, grades, personal background and how they spend their time outside of the classroom.

Types of Applications • Early Decision I • Regular Decision • Early Decision II • Transfer EARLY DECISION I AND II Lehigh has two rounds of binding Early Decision where applicants commit to attend Lehigh if admitted. Students selected in Early Decision I or II are required to withdraw all other applications filed at other institutions and must not initiate any new applications to other schools. All Early Decision candidates are fully evaluated for standard need-based financial aid and merit scholarships, and tentative financial aid awards for those who qualify are sent at the time of admission. REGULAR DECISION Lehigh receives the majority of applications through traditional Regular Decision. Applicants are notified of admission decisions by April 1 and receive financial aid information at the time of admission. TRANSFER Lehigh University welcomes applications from transfer students who are currently enrolled at other two- or four-year colleges or universities. Lehigh provides a credit evaluation only after extending an offer of admission. Registration & Academic Services, in consultation with the faculty of Lehigh University, will make the final determination on which college credits will transfer to the institution.
