@jakobS Yepp!
Good Luck to all! This is a phenomenal program. LEAD Wharton 2014 Scholar here to answer any questions!
@AnewCrown Which location did attend? How was your experience there?
@fminlinden I attended LEAD at the University of Pennsylvania. The full four weeks were jam packed with corporate visits, case studies, and team competitions. In a nutshell, it is an MBA program in four weeks. We learned everything from finance to marketing and entrepreneurship from Wharton professors. We also had a lot of fun. Went to six flags, the beach, and more.
Did you find the competetive nature of the program to be constructive? Also is it true that as a LEAD Alum you will get special internship information and opportunities? Where are you attending University currently? Or where will you be attending?
@fminlinden We all learned from each other through our competitions. Rarely do HS students get to compete with the best and brightest from across the nation. The competitive nature was very constructive and not damaging to any friendships. You are correct. As a LEAD alum you will occasionally receive email about internships, jobs, summer programs, and other opportunities.
@sungleparent1 LEAD is geared towards URM but there were a couple non-urm/mixed. In my cohort, a little over 1/3 got into Ivies ED/EA with the overwhelming majority to Penn. There are also some acceptances into top LAC, state schools, and private schools. The students that attend LEAD (all the schools not just Wharton) are fantastic in their own right. Many could have gotten into their top schools regardless of the program. There’s some data on the LEAD webpage about college decision. It’s slightly old but very good nonetheless.
We also had courtesy interviews with admissions. I dont know how much my courtesy interview helped in my profile. I and every other LEADer still had to do another interview if they applied to Penn. After attending LEAD Wharton, you WILL know what to put in you Why Penn essay. We were essentially Penn students for a month. I’m a senior. I attended LEAD Wharton last summer. I was accepted into the Wharton School early decision.
I am so excited for April 1st! I really hope that I get admitted! Northwestern was my first choice!
@singleparent1 I applied to several summer programs but LEAD was definitely my number 1. I’m planning on doing a pre-freshman program at Penn and possibly an internship in the area. I’m an avid reader too. Good luck to all LEAD applicants!
Do you mind posting your stats that you sent into LEAD?
