I have applied for LBW 2016 and am here to discuss about related topics with other students who have applied as well. Over here, people may ask and answer questions about LBW 2016 and the summer program as a whole.
Hey! Aplied yesterday!!! What are your stats?
I saw you are interested in applying to the UK. Why do LBW then? Which country are you in?
@HunstsmanDream I am in Europe in Belgium. Planning on applying to both US and UK. However, I’m prioritising US.

That’s awesome @blobtown !!! Good luck on your admissions to LBW!
Additionally, I’d like to ask you to comment on my stats if possible. What do you think are my chances for LBW? Any feedback and commentary is appreciated! Thanks!
Anybody got any email for interview etc from LBW?
Nope I haven’t. The decisions are supposed to come on the first of April. That’s as far as I am aware of though.
Do we have an interview? I don’t think so
Has anyone got in??? I heard someone told me she already got the result
