HYP Global reported a 40% pass rate for its 2026 Lehigh Business cohort as admissions decisions were released.
Headline results
HYP Global's 2026 Spring cohort of Pre-Master Boot Camp graduates achieved a 40% admission rate at Lehigh University College of Business, matriculating 12 students into the MS in Analytical Finance, MS in Business Analytics, and MS in Management programs for the Fall 2026 term.
Cohort composition
The 2026 Spring cohort comprised 30 students from Mainland China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan, representing diverse undergraduate backgrounds across accounting, finance, economics, and international business. Twelve of those students directly targeted Lehigh programs and received Lehigh offers; the remaining students received offers at other HYP partner universities including Santa Clara, UC Riverside, Fordham, and the University of Delaware.
Program-fit analysis
The 40% Lehigh admission rate reflects strong program-fit signalling from the Pre-Master Boot Camp transcript. Participants who completed the Analytical Finance track (Advanced Statistical Methods, Mathematics for Analytics and Finance, Operations Research Topics and Optimisation Models) scored meaningfully higher on Lehigh admissions quantitative-readiness assessments than direct-admission applicants without Pre-Master preparation.
What Lehigh admissions shared with us
"Pre-Master Boot Camp participants arrive at Lehigh with the foundation coursework we would normally expect students to complete in their first quant-focused semester," a Lehigh College of Business admissions officer said during the cohort debrief. "That lets our graduate faculty focus on advanced material from day one. It's the kind of preparation we can reliably count on cycle after cycle."
Next steps for the cohort
Admitted students now transition to Lehigh's pre-arrival orientation program, which HYP Global coordinates alongside the Lehigh graduate student services office. Orientation covers visa processing (F-1), housing, health insurance enrollment, and academic expectations.
Applying for future cohorts
Applications for the 2026 Fall Pre-Master Boot Camp cohort open in May. Applicants targeting Lehigh MS programs for Spring 2027 matriculation are encouraged to begin the Fall cohort to complete Pre-Master coursework before the Lehigh application window closes in October.
