Lbw 2012

<p>did not get in.
no ********, here were my stats:</p>

<p>teachers recs: very strong. all my teachers really liked me
gpa: below average. at a a good school with upward trend, but granted other people were probably much stronger.
extracurricular: extremely strong. president of two business clubs, two business awards and a business equivalent of an olympic gold medal.</p>

<p>waitlist. probably because I didn’t write the Why LBW essay.</p>

<p>Hey aimforthesky, just wondering was it an outright rejection or waitlisy? </p>

<p>Sent from my ADR6350 using CC</p>

<p>Also, to people who have attended in the past, how likely is it for people to get off the waitlist?</p>

<p>waitlisted. pretty upset, thought i had a really strong application. will post stats if anyone wants to know. @aimforthesky did you get waitlisted or rejected?</p>

<p>WL. pretty upset too</p>

<p>i was outright rejected.
very very disappointed.</p>

<p>i heard waitlist-> acceptance rate is pretty high.
congratulations to everybody who is in either of these categories.
i’m sure you guys truly deserve it.!</p>

<p>@aimforthesky, where did you hear this?</p>

<p>@dub4life i hear from many people from previous years.</p>

<p>@joe1795, congrats! however out of curiosity, what was your business related experience? your stats are extremely strong for sure</p>

<p>yeah, can people who got accepted post their stats? it would really help to give those who were waitlisted some sort of perspective</p>

<p>@aimforthesky I was actually really surprised; I don’t really have much business experience outside of being the treasurer for a club. I have a lot of leadership experience though</p>

<p>@aimforthesky don’t be disappointed, u wil get better chances ^ ^</p>

<p>maybe theyre looking for leadership more than business?
lizzylbjy thanks :confused: im going to be studying for sats and that seems like my only opportunity this summer. i wish i couuld be waitlisted.</p>

<p>Hi guys,
I’m from Korea, and I just found out that I’ve been accepted to the program! It’s almost 2AM here… HAHA
I attend an international school.
&& here are my stats:
Teacher recs: pretty good
GPA: 4.0/4.0 unweighted
Test scores: SAT 1: 2360, 800 Math 2c, 780 Biology M, 750 Chinese
ECs: Cheerleading (had some leadership roles, did community service with it, and will represent Korea in the ICU Cheerleading championships), organized this business competition for 300+ participants, president of business club at school, NHS officer, business competitions, some things with singing + a cappella
Essays: They were decent. Actually, I felt my leadership moment essay was a bit below average, even a little cliched. My Why LBW essay was pretty good though. But still I think it was really my GPA and scores that got me in rather than my ECs or essays.</p>

<p>I just got my email :smiley:
Accepted! I’m sure you’ll all find great things to do in the summer accepted or not! </p>

<p>um stats,
SAT: 2100
no rank or GPA
IB: 36/42 —< this semester
Recs: Both teachers love me :smiley: english and math.
Essay: bout the business i’m starting. optional essay was my fav, talked about love for business and connected it to knowledge in history, geography, economics and finance.
ECs: drama lead all of high school, figure skating since 5, golf since 6, swimming since 5, catalogue business, started my own fund to support migrant kids to school, tea art --< traditional chinese thingie, volleyball captain, debate gold and silver 2 years. </p>
