Students must aim to score in between this range or avoid submitting the scores during admissions. The minimum ACT requirement is between 30 and 33.

Lehigh University offers test options for GRE scores to international students. The university gives low priority to standardized test scores in comparison to factors, such as rigor of secondary school records, class rank, academic GPA, recommendations, essay, talent/ ability, extracurricular activities, volunteer work, and level of applicant’s interest.

Graduate applicants still prefer to submit the GRE scores to create a positive impression on their resumes. Students must only submit their scores if they have achieved high GRE scores, or do not submit it at all.
