Undergraduate / Lehigh Supplement A, "never limit my academic potential" [4]
As you researched and visited colleges and universities, why did you decide to apply to Lehigh? Please give specific reasons. What contributions will you make during your time at Lehigh?
Choosing to apply to Lehigh University was absolutely essential for me after researching colleges in the Midwest. Lehigh stood out tall amongst other highly regarded universities; the academic prowess of both its students and educators lured me to pursue placement in the College of Arts and Science. As a student with an undecided major I specifically filtered through universities that offered little to no flexibility in terms of transferring colleges. For this reason I was delighted to see that Lehigh offers students the ability to easily explore a massive amount of academic options (over 2,000 courses) and to transfer amongst all three undergraduate colleges.
I am convinced that the Lehigh would never limit my academic potential due to this and its advanced technology offered to students in an effort to enhance their acquisition of knowledge. Lehigh boasts of not one library, but three. The Fairchild-Martindale Library and the Linderman Library would surely provide for a comfortable learning environment. With wireless Internet and exceptional space to study Lehigh students certainly have it all.
Campus communities are also very important. I was impressed to see that Lehigh admits students from over 65 countries each year. This is an incredible statistic, I am grateful to see that my experience in Lehigh would be influenced from people around the world. Meeting and befriending students would come easy with the large amount of student clubs and activities offered on campus.
As a student at Lehigh I can offer my desire to learn and accomplish great things. I am a student at heart and I thrive on learning. I can contribute my opinions, knowledge and friendship to the students and faculty. All of this I would do in an effort to improve campus life and learning at Lehigh. I also have talents outside the realm of academics. I enjoy public speaking and am exploring my talent in it by applying to be a leader at my high school student retreat. I am also an accomplished varsity tennis player. I would love the opportunity to continue to participate in Tennis under the banner of a school, whether it is competitive or even just a club. Overall I believe I can offer Lehigh a well-rounded student who thirsts for knowledge, friendship, experience and excellence.
Forgive me if this seems rushed or of poor quality; I am very sick atm and welcome any criticisms you may have. Thanks in advance~ Ryan
