<p>Hey everybody, this thread is for people who have already been notified of acceptance to LBW. I am curious about LBW admissions procedures since some people were told that the decisions would be made in May while others have already been accepted. </p>
<p>If you have been accepted , please write your name, when you sent all the application materials, location, standardized scores, and whether or not you’re going.</p>

Is definitely attending!!!!</p>
<p>savvymom - I hate to be nosy, but I only asked for standardized scores so that I could figure out how the LBW admissions process works. I think they're accepting high SATs or PSATs early and then making decisions on other applications later. Its just a theory.</p>
<p>the more and more stats of the accepted members i see, makes me think i should have tried harder on the psats haha ughh</p>

PSATs 208 (76M 71 V 61W)
Depends on how gov school goes.</p>
<p>I do not think that SAT is that huge of a part, well at least not the writing part. I'm more leaning on leadership, rec letters and the essay.</p>
<p>fatcookie - thanks for the reply and congrats!
I guess they're looking for the full package; there's no particular method to their madness!!</p>
<p>steeev88-
I think your theory is wrong because my D only submitted PSATs (she took the SATs in March) Although they were very good (I forget the exact number),they were not natl merit finalist numbers. She does have however, a ton of quality leadership among other things. It also didn't hurt that her class rank is 2/208. My D is very well rounded and I think that's what LBW is looking for.</p>
<p>yeah well im still hoping that i have some faint chance but my expectations arent high</p>
<p>what do you think my chances are
- great recs
-great essay
{of course thats subjective but yeah lol}
- 4.0 weighted gpa/ taking all A.P classes ( 6 this year, 3 last year, 1 before that)
- PSAT's were low point that worrys me ( i think i got like a 1980( 660 / 660/660) or so which was a shock to me yikes haah)</p>
<p>The average SAT is listed as "just below 1400" or something like that on the LBW website section. I think references are important. S's stats are not nearly as high as what some of you have, but I think he stands a good chance to get in. We'll see...... If he does, it will make you all have a lot more hope!</p>
<p>I hope the SATs aren't too important; all I have are 800's in french SAT II's. (never took the PSAT)</p>
<p>Would you mind posting your son's stats (or would you like to wait until you find out if he gets in?)</p>
<p>He has a 1390 from the January SAT- no SAT IIs yet. He has switched schools a couple of times but has great grades this year at his boarding school. Great recs from teachers who REALLY know how to write them. He is an unusual kid- a top athlete in his sport but also started a philosophy club in his dorm. He is very independent and is a real leader (sometimes even in a positive way!). I thought his essay was excellent. I think these programs need a range of kids to keep things interesting (not dummies, but different types of kids with different strengths and backgrounds).</p>
<p>Do you think I could still send in the March SAT results once I get them? It should reflect a 250-350 point increase from my PSAT, so it may help my chances. Do you think they will consider them?</p>
<p>(PS I really really bombed my PSAT...189)</p>
<p>stambliark - definitely send the new scores in once you get them;
have them rushed if you can</p>
<p>alright, there have definitely got to be more people doing LBW</p>
<p>Please post</p>
<p>I just got my letter of acceptance into LBW.
