Does anyone know if there is a time deadline for the Bank of America Student Leadership Program 2017 application? I know it’s due on January 27, but is this referring to January 26 at 11:59 p.m. or January 27 at 11:59 p.m.?
When a deadline is the 27th, it means that day. I would try to have it in by the end of the business day if possible, though.
Does anyone know any information about the selection process? Or past statistics regarding the acceptance rate to the program?
Glancing at past threads, the program is selective. The acceptance rate is probably around 3 - 4%.
Does anyone know if it’s ok to submit 2 applications? I already sent 1 but then I wanted to add some stuff. Would they still allow it and not automatically invalidate me or something?
Aaaaah, I emailed them and they wont reply til 1 or 2 business days. Do you think sending 2 will be ok? Or should I just stick with the first one?
@lambchop1000008 send one? i know most programs won’t be very happy with add-on apps
But does anyone know when we’ll be contacted w results or anything?
In my email to me they said they would let us know April 30th
@callieshayeee wth that’s months away…time to not think about this for a couple of months
What do they care about? Service Hours? Essays? Rec Letters? All of the above? Also, I heard there is an interview, is that true?
I had an interview but I think it just depends on how many people apply in your market. 90 applied in mine.
Is there a set number of people who will be accepted from each market? Or is there just a general number of people who will be accepted for the program altogether regardless of the market?
during my interview they told me it was around 5 per market
I have read that anywhere from 200 - 225 across the US and 5 in our market in all of CT. S18 Googled Bank of America Student Leaders CT for our market and found articles about previous recipients and what the non profits they were assigned to. Our market is not big and students were from all over the state, so really only 1 in our area.
For CT there are two markets. There is one in Southern CT and one in Hartford. I hear that this program is very selective, especially in the bigger cities - a little over 100 people applied in my market and I was one of 5 chosen. This is a great program, and feel free to ask me questions!
@classicalkid Thanks I thought it was just one market for all of CT but that makes sense. If you don’t mind sharing which market are you in? When did you attend and when did you hear that you were accepted? S18’s counselor states that there are kids in our district who apply but they never hear back so we will see. At least they did email and said that they would send out notifications first week in April.
@magnetnh I was in the Hartford market. I found out on April 4, 2016, and I completed the internship over this past summer. I also received a call that notified me of my acceptance. I do not know if people who were rejected received any notification but I would be surprised if they didn’t.
I’m so nervous. I’m in the Central FL market and had an interview. They said that they’d be releasing decisions later in March, but has anyone heard anything else about dates?
I’m from West Palm Beach, Fl and I was wondering if any one has heard?
