[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also, Lehigh is a lot easier to get into. Keep that in mind. Villanova is weirdly competitive.[/quote]

That’s surprising. I grew up in the NE hearing that Lehigh was a more prestigious school. [/quote]

It was until the last few Presidents mucked it up. In the 80s it was ranked #33 and #4, I think in alumni giving, after Dartmouth, Princeton and Yale, maybe? Anyway the new President is an alum and he seems better equipped to handle the management of the school. I will say I do not think the academics have declined at all - the issues were with the way new social policies were implemented, dismantling of the majority of fraternities, and a school that was [b]slow to really embrace diversity[/b]. It’s still a fantastic place to get a rigorous education. If in engineering, be prepared for plenty of exams where the class average is a 62. Lehigh has always liked to let its students know that there is more to learn, more to know, that you can’t expect to coast with As like in high school.

Right now it is still much easier to get in because the last President opened up a new School of Health and they expanded the class size by 1,000 students so acceptance rate rose to 50%. [/quote]

DS applied this year regular decision. If you follow Lehigh on IG, every other post is diversity related.[/quote]
