@stanroze hi stan! what would you say was the best part of the program? and i dont want to be that person who’s all about college, but im curious to whether you think launchx helped/helps your chances to admissions to a top school
Has any RA applicant received an interview request yet?
yes I have
I received an interview request today (!), but I was deferred from early action and am now in the RA group. Fingers are crossed for a great interview.
Interview is super important. Make sure you’re ready for the wackiest questions! I got asked about my favorite color last year. Another weird question I had was like a scenario thing and what would I do with certain items.
@GoBears2023 that sounds pretty crazy! Who interviewed you
has anyone who applied regular decision gotten an interview request yet and does anyone know when they will start sending them out?
I was interviewed by one of their alumni. It was pretty fun! PM me if you want a more detailed recap of what was asked 
Just wanted to let u guys know that I had my interview on Thursday, March 8, and just got my acceptance letter today for RD!
Congrats @shanghailover
If you don’t mind, can you post your stats and ECs so future applicants can gauge where they are?
@shanghailover That is awesome…and the admittance came so quick! Congrats to you! Which location?
@GoBears2023 @FLBeaches123 So for applicants who are wondering, I was just admitted to launch x Session 1 at MIT. I hope this helps everyone :))
Here is some of my stats, EC’s and other parts of my application.
Grade: Freshman
Unweighted GPA: 3.86
Weighted GPA: N/A school does not use weighted GPA
PSAT: 1400
Class Rank: Top 5%
ECs:
I started 2 business, one non-profit organization that pairs fast food restaurants with local organizations to donate unsold food. The organization has expanded to 12 locations across the US. My second business is a girl golf clothing company that I created to help increase the interest of young girls in the sport of golf. I think these two startups were the main thing that helped my application.
FTC Robotics- Team captain
Golf- Takes up most of my time. I talked about what it has taught me about life and how I can apply that to being an entrepreneur.
video-
I think my video was pretty good. I mainly just talked ab my businesses and why I want to be an entrepreneur. Here is the link if you want to see the actual video https://youtu.be/ReQvM6oWn1I
Essays-
I think my essays were pretty good id say probably a 7/10
Teacher recs- I had my biology teacher give me a recommendation. I’m really close with her and she has helped me with a lot of my business stuff so I think she gave me a pretty good rec letter, 9/10
Interview- I was SUPER nervous so I talked really fast and rambled a lot, but overall I didn’t think my interview was AMAZING, but I think I did okay. I had Peri as my interviewer. If u have any questions ab what she asked u can pm me!
Demographics
Nationality: Russian and Arabic but I have a US passport
Residence: Shanghai, China. I am an expat living in Shanghai, China. I attend an international school. A couple of kids applied to launch from my school as well but idk if they got in or not.
Wow, thanks for putting such a detailed post. Future applicants will definitely benefit from it!
I was surprised when I saw that you were not asian in your video. It’s pretty cool that you are living in Shanghai! Congrats once again on such a fine accomplishment!
Thanks so much, @shanghailover, for your informative posts! They didn’t go wrong admitting you. I think you would make an excellent interviewer as a LaunchX alumn!
Hey…how long does it take to get a response after veing interviewed…any ideas?
For those who did regular decision this year, did you guys get anything back from them? Also for anybody who did an interview, can you please tell me what type of questions they asked?
One day, if you look above at a post. I just completed my Skype interview w/ Cindy despite a lot of technical difficulties. It was a really nice conversation, I just felt bad that she had to type a lot when I couldn’t hear her!
@Arbaaz I received my decision the day after my interview
I also had an interview with cindy…although there were technical difficulties…it went pretty well…but havnt heard from them…shud i consider myself rejected…
