HSF: Youth Leadership Institute 2019

Hi has anyone done this program in the best?

My friend has and he said it was amazing. Has anyone received their notification if they’re in or not?

I know in the FAQs HSF stated that they will get back to us mid-February but I haven’t got anything yet only an email saying that we will receive our notifications in the future… I don’t know why but it makes me a bit anxious.

Hi guys I got an email saying that I was waitlisted to the U Chicago program today.

@ISawKanyeLive have you heard back?

@apples1439 Actually I have. I applied and got accepted to the UChicago one.

I just got my acceptance letter for the USC location! I hope y’all get in.

@ISawKanyeLive @uzivin21 do you guys mind sharing your stats?

Did anyone else get accepted and is going to the USC one?

I got accepted into the USC one and they called my guardians to confirm my placement I guess but I haven’t heard back from them at all. They said something about sending the itinerary in late April.

@zaidaim I got the email too. Don’t sweat it, when they were sending out the decisions they sent them out on the 26th of February I believe. I look forward to meeting you at USC!
