Sorry, not any more. Lehigh is still fairly difficult to get into. It's a match for many, but not a safety even for top kids. [/quote]

Untrue. I’m the pp and an alum. Lehigh is growing its student population, so from 2020 to about 2027,  they will accept @ 150 more students each year. (My numbers may not be precise as I am going from memory). Last year they had a 50% acceptance rate, which is remarkable, given that the acceptance rate was @ 21% not long ago.

Lehigh uses demonstrated interest to a ridiculous degree. So if you are serious, you must visit, try for an interview, attend webinars, write a super focused essay, etc.

It is a rigorous school, particularly in the Engineering and Business colleges. They will want to see evidence that the student has taken the most rigorous courses available.

Lehigh is tougher to get into if you are from NY, NJ, PA, or CT than from the DMV or elsewhere. [/quote]

Visit? Interview? Super focused essay? Sounds like too much work for a safety

Yes. I think a safety school where, if you meet the requirements on  the website and haven't been to prison, you get in. If it requires anything much more than minimum grades that a kid has and minimum test scores that a kid has, it can't be a true safety.[/quote]
