Wait List Acceptance Rate

Lehigh University’s wait list acceptance rate for the application year 2024 stands at a notably low 2.83%, with 5,098 students offered a spot and only 144 ultimately accepted. This sharp decline follows an exceptionally high acceptance rate of 76.19% in the previous application year 2023, when 2,100 applicants were offered admission from the wait list. The historical data indicates a significant fluctuation in wait list admissions, with the current year's rate reflecting a drastic change in the university's wait list policies when compared to last year’s figures. Such variability highlights the uncertainties surrounding the wait list process at Lehigh University.
