Hey all, I have just submitted my application to Lehigh and have been invited to the applicant portal. What kind of stuff can I expect to see there? Thanks in advance for your advice!
Your Lehigh University applicant portal is your go-to hub for everything related to your application. When you log in, you should be able to see the current status of your application, like whether it's been received, if it's under review, or if a decision has been made.
You'll also have access to a checklist which will show whether all the necessary components of your application have been received: this typically includes your Common Application/Coalition Application, your transcripts, letters of recommendation, and standardized testing scores (if you chose to submit them-- Lehigh is test-optional for the 2024-2025 application cycle).
This is also the platform where Lehigh will post its admissions decisions when the time comes. So keep your login handy and make sure to check back regularly!
You may also find various resources for prospective students in the portal, such as invitations to virtual tours or information sessions, messages from admissions committee members, and maybe even some preliminary financial aid information based on the materials you've already submitted.
Keep in mind that the portal may also have a messaging function where you can direct any questions or concerns to the admissions department, however this varies between schools.
Be sure to check your portal frequently (about once a week) since this is the primary way the school communicates updates about your application status.
