In its 2025-26 report, Lehigh University says 19,342 first-year students applied and 5,601 were admitted, an acceptance rate of 29%. 1,535 admitted students enrolled (27% yield). Enrolled students who sent scores had a middle-50% SAT of 1380–1480 and ACT of 31–34. Early decision: 966 of 2,040 applicants admitted (47%). Waitlist: 4,083 offered a spot, 1,988 accepted one, and 80 admitted from it. Compared with 2024-25, applications fell 5.2% (20,396 to 19,342), the acceptance rate went from 26% to 29%, and the early decision admit rate went from 45% to 47%.

§ Adjusted admission flow

Applicants, admits, and class seats use separate stage scales so Early Decision and all other rounds stay readable.

Each column is scaled within that stage. Labels show exact counts.

Admission flow data
Path	Applicants	Admitted	Admit rate	Class seats	Note
Early Decision	2,040	966	47%	966	Likely class seats assume ED admits enroll.
All other rounds	17,302	4,635	27%	569	All other rounds are residual CDS totals, not exact Regular Decision.

Class-seat estimate assumes ED admits enroll. CDS does not report confirmed ED enrollment, so likely ED class seats are calculated as the smaller of ED admits and enrolled first-years.

Overall yield: 27%. Published yield blends high-commitment ED admits with the rest of the admitted pool.

Read the ED rate carefully. Published ED rates can include recruited athletes, legacy applicants, and institutional-priority applicants. The general-pool ED rate can be lower.

Path	Applicants	Admitted	Admit rate	Class seats	Note
Early Decision	2,040	966	47%	966	Likely class seats assume ED admits enroll.
All other rounds	17,302	4,635	27%	569	All other rounds are residual CDS totals, not exact Regular Decision.

Class-seat estimate assumes ED admits enroll. CDS does not report confirmed ED enrollment, so likely ED class seats are calculated as the smaller of ED admits and enrolled first-years.

Overall yield: 27%. Published yield blends high-commitment ED admits with the rest of the admitted pool.

Read the ED rate carefully. Published ED rates can include recruited athletes, legacy applicants, and institutional-priority applicants. The general-pool ED rate can be lower.
