LaunchX '18 alum here. If you have any questions, feel free to ask 
Hey, how did you think the program went? Did it really open your eyes? Is it worth it to attend because you know, $7000+ ain’t cheap.
Thanks!
@APStudy The program was amazing, and 100% worth attending. The people you’ll meet there are out of this world, and while you shouldn’t expect Launch to make you the next Steve Jobs, it’s more about the skills you learn and the people you meet there. Whether or not your company will be any good basically depends on your team and how much you collectively believe in the idea. Also, if anyone needs any help when interviews start rolling out, let me know.
Have to add though, I got a lot of financial aid. If your parents aren’t earning 70k+ per year, then do yourself a favor and apply for financial aid.
LaunchX 18’ alum here! I have to say the program was expensive and the entire time I was there, people always made jokes about the cost and how our money was being wasted. However, the experience
was life changing for me at least. It honestly wasn’t the program, but the people there. The peers you meet there will be amazing and working with them to try to create something for a month straight taught me so much and helped me grow as a person. Also to note for price, most people spend a lot on food (they said they would provide lunch at my session but they rarely did) as well as outside activities, ubers, toiletries. The program gives you little structure outside of lectures which ended in early afternoon and weekends were completely free. Most people there are very well off and I felt a lot of pressure to go out and do fun things with them even though I couldn’t necessarily afford it.
Hi! I’m an international student. Is the program hard to apply? What does it require?
Did any of you guys apply early? I did, and I just wanted to know if the interviews come out earlier or if there even is one for early?
Thanks.
@apstudy Yes, there are interviews for early. I heard they’re in January (I also applied early this year and my friend applied early last year)
Let’s keep each other updated.
Just had my interview! Did anyone else have theirs?
My interview was with “Stan” btw.
When do we hear back about decisions? Does anyone know how many of those who are interviewed get offers?
Can you help with the inverview? Mine is tomorrow.
How did it go? Were the qs hard?
It went really well! I found the questions to be really open-ended. How did yours go? who’d you interview w/?
I interviewed with Arjan. He was super super nice and the interview questions were not at all what I expected them to be. Don’t stress to much about it because it was very chill and it’s really hard to get an interview so your pretty much 75% there.
i got accepted last year but did not attend. I can still answer questions hopefully

What type of questions did they ask? I am applying RD so I just wanted to be prepared!
@sadstudent0525 They were all just questions about you! At least for my interview with Stan, it felt like a conversation rather than an interview…I really feel like they want you to succeed, after all they’re offering us an interview so they must be considering us!
I haven’t got an interview request yet. Do I have any chances of getting in?
Hi, I’m applying this year to LaunchX, regular round. How important would you guys say entrepreneurial experience is to your chances of getting accepted?
Thanks!
Do you guys know how many people get interviewed in ED? And how many of the people who get interviewed get in?
