Alumni Recommendation Form 201040

1. Lehigh University Alumni Recommendation Form

In the application reading process, there are many factors taken into consideration, not limited to academic testing, GPA, school and community extracurricular activities, leadership, essays, and letters of recommendation. Alumni letters of recommendation, as is true with counselor and teacher recommendations have the greatest impact when the admissions staff is choosing between one admissible candidate and another. In those instances, references that specifically speak to character or behavior are most beneficial. Thank you for taking the time to support a prospective student!
