Applying to Lebanon Valley College: Need Info on Admissions

I'm planning on applying to Lebanon Valley College and would love to hear from current students or alumni about the admissions process. What sort of grades or extracurriculars did you have? Any insights or advice would be greatly appreciated!

Lebanon Valley College, generally, has a student-friendly admissions process. It would be useful to know more about your academic interests and what you're planning on majoring in since that can make a difference too. However, here are some general insights:

For academic credentials, the middle 50% of accepted students typically have GPA scores between 3.0 to 3.7 on a 4.0 scale. SAT and ACT scores are not required for admission, but can be submitted if you feel they enhance your application.

In regard to extracurriculars, LVC values students who are well-rounded and have shown a level of commitment and leadership in a few activities. It's better to engage deeply in a few rather than spreading yourself thin over many. If you're involved in activities that align with your intended major or career path, that would be a bonus.

You'll also have to write an essay as part of your application. Try to be genuine and use the essay as a way for the admissions board to get to know you better.

I'd recommend taking advantage of the Open Houses and personalized campus visits to know more about the college atmosphere and its offerings, which can be helpful for both your decision to apply and your application itself. Just remember that LVC doesn't consider demonstrated interest in their decision making.

Lastly, LVC offers rolling admissions, which means you can apply at any time and expect an admissions decision in a few weeks. This doesn't necessarily mean sooner is better, but make sure you apply in enough time to make an informed decision about where to commit based on all of your acceptances.

I hope this provides some clarity. Best of luck with your application!
