LEAD 2018 Thread

Any updates? I still haven’t gotten any notification from them ):

Same @thetofuninja . TBH, it’s kind of annoying cause I’m trying to figure out what I’ll be doing over the summer, so the sooner they let me know, the better.

@thestudent248 agreed!! I’ve been trying to decide on what to do this summer, but I’ve just been waiting for this to come out

Called them yesterday and today and got sent into voicemail.

I emailed them Monday and I got a “we will let u know beyond the April 15th deadline”. I called yesterday it went straight to voicemail with no response. I am trying to plan out this summer based on the program dates. Over 4.0 GPA, great scores, lots of volunteering hours, club positions. Good essays. It would be nice to know yes or no so can put this behind.

Does anybody know exactly how far past the 4/15 deadline that they will deliver results? Cause this waiting is getting to be a little… tedious

@thestudent248 agreeddddd, I have no idea when we’ll get to know though

I’m getting seriously annoyed and to an extent feel a lack of respect. If anyone has been contacted he/she is more than welcome to share their information.

Agreed. It’s been more than a week now and they originally said that they would release acceptances between March 15th and April 15th. If anyone has any sort of update, I’m sure we’d all appreciate it.

The lack of information, and not delivering on the due dates, has been very unprofessional. They were supposed to let us know by March 15 and then they came up with Phase 3, which apparently no one knows what it is. Very dissapointed by the process.

Has anyone been admitted to the Wharton program yet? For those who have been admitted, did you have to accept or pay anything right away?

On Monday they posted an update on their site regarding the selection process. It says they are still in the process of completing their selection and notification. It also listed the universities as Duke, Lehigh, Michigan, Northwestern, UPenn, and Southern Methodist University. Wasn’t Emory on the original list? And I don’t remember Southern Methodist as being on the list.

thanks for the info @brooks13. Not sure how I missed that notification. Disillusionment seems to be setting in for the people that are waiting patiently. They could have just posted this update on April 15th and saved everyone some energy . I am surprised how they have still left it open ended. Don’t they have to plan the program out too? Everyone has a deadline ! Hopefully they speed up and send out notifications. Good luck to everyone!

Even though this is kind of bothersome, I think being late kind of takes the pressure off. It gives you more time to get it together and not care anymore. But again, probably would’ve preferred them just to tell us straight away, or at the very least give a ballpark estimate for when they’ll be done, because ambiguity makes planning much more difficult.

I just really want to know if I got in its been over a week

Finally heard back!
I’m going to LEAD SBI @ Wharton.
Thank you Jesus!
¡Éxito!

Got into LEAD SBI at Lehigh! thankful for the admission… That wasn’t the first pick. LEAD seems to be a prestigious program but I don’t know much about that school. Is LEAD at any of the campus same? Anyone can share information on that.

I still have not heard back. Are there others still waiting for a notification?

@reseve i dont know about more notifications. but i have to accept by Ma1st and pay in full by May 10th. So i think if they are still working through logistics those 2 dates maybe the next time they send out more notifications based on people not accepting.

We are still waiting, have not received a notification.
