LaunchX Summer 2020

Anyone know where I can choose my location? I got an email after my interview saying that I could change it where I submitted my application, but I can’t seem to find the option to.

Do you know when regular decisions come out? I am a little bit stressed out about whether or not I will get in. I also applied to Columbia’s summer program and NYU Pre-college. What are the chances of those programs?

When launch x asks for location preference, does that indicate they are highly likely to accept you?

Has anyone gotten an admission decision who had an interview last week yet?

@cmeyer23 LaunchX sends a location preference to everyone who is offered an interview

Thanks.

Hello, all— I need some advice!

tl;dr: how do I ~respectfully~ ask the LaunchX team to give me more time to decide if I want to attend their program? (was accepted into Cambridge location)

I applied to LaunchX as a backup option for this summer, and expected decisions to come out in April. however, it turns out that they have rolling admissions, and I got accepted into the Cambridge location.

They sent me the acceptance letter and invoice already, and are asking me to pay my deposit by March 12th. My decisions for the other camps I want to attend come out later in April though, so is there any way I can ask the LaunchX team to delay my deposit/ committing to their program?

*The other camps I applied to are a lot more selective than LaunchX (SIMR, Penn M&TSI, MIT WTP pretty much all have ~5% acceptance rates) so I don’t want to say no to LaunchX and then end up with no where to go. Anyone else having the same problem?

Hey guys!

I checked my portal and it says I can “START” my application, despite my submission in January. Is anyone else having this issue? Let me know.

Hey guys, so I recently went into my portal and saw that I’d been accepted to Launch, however, I never received an email saying that my decision had been released like I did when I got deferred and I didn’t receive anything else that had to do with Launch. It says to continue I will need to follow the steps in my acceptance email, but I didn’t receive one nor did I even get my location. Any advice or help to do with this?

I got a email for interview but it doesn’t ask for the preferred location. Did this happen to anyone else? What does it mean?

Hi, I just received an acceptance letter from my portal, but it didn’t specify which location I was accepted into, when will I find this out?

@fencer28 I had the same issue last night, just email them and they’ll send everything through

accepted into penn location! anyone else?

Ummm call them??

I am wondering if there are high school seniors at Launch X ??? How many ?

I am in a similar situation too! Got accepted to launchX but also applied to M&TSI. My counselor told me that paying the deposit does not mean that you will be bound to launchX. But the deposit costs so much omg and I actually want to go to MTSI more. Please let me know if you find out a solution to this problem

Wait this is my exact problem ughhh. I think what I’ll end up doing is just declining LaunchX’s offer and then pray that I’ll get in somewhere else. But it’s going to be so risky aiohsiodfjoisd

Hey, does anyone know where in Cambridge the program is taking place? Also, will participants have access to college or university facilities like a maker space? I’m having a hard time getting details about the summer program. Thanks!

Hey guys, I need your advice. I was accepted to the University of Michigan Session 1, but the time frame of this session doesn’t fit me at all, I have a graduation ceremony at that time. Do you think it is possible that they can transfer me to another session if I ask them?

Hey! I have my interview tomorrow and was wondering what I should expect. Anything specifically that I should prepare for?

Also, how long should I expect to wait after the interview as to if I’m accepted/rejected? It seems like people are getting their decisions pretty quickly.
