<p>Will the people who got accepted post their stats?</p>
<p>@binghulu262 have u received anything yet? im still waiting for mine</p>
<p>nope, not yet :(</p>
<p>Stats @binghulu262:</p>
<p>GPA/Academics: Good (4.02W)/ Mostly A’s and AP classes
HS: I live in Texas and attend a “reputable high school” as far as I know…
ECs: Band (5 yrs), Track (5 yrs.), Spanish (4 yrs), NHS, Spanish Honors Society, 350+ hours of community service, Humanitarian trip to Jamaica, Tutor, Boys & Girls Club Volunteer, and a job
Essays: Very good, I feel my essays played a large role in my acceptance…
Schools: I listed Upenn Wharton as my first choice, followed by a promise to attend any schools with an available spot
Rec Letters: My APUSH teacher and mentor wrote my rec letters and I believe they were very beneficial as an insight into my personality
Race/Gender: African American Female
Greatest Strength: Community Activism and Awareness
Greatest Weakness: PSAT scores (I DEFINITELY wasn’t a national merit), but I feel my scores were not seen as a direct reflection of my achievements, which were exemplified through my grades and essays</p>
<p>I feel absolutely privileged to attend this program and I am not taking it for granted… Just don’t give up!!! To be honest, I had all but convinced myself that I had been rejected and was genuinely surprised when I received an acceptance letter. I hope this helped! Buena Suerte <3</p>
<p>that’s great! thanks a bunch! :)</p>
<p>^Have you received your letter yet? If not, you should probably call LEAD for an update…</p>
<p>Even more fascinating than the LEAD summer experience is the selection process for the lead program:) is it like the NFL draft? Do you make it through a number of rounds? I take it that the ones who got notified early were the first round picks. It all remains to be seen, I suppose no news may be good news…but then
again, maybe not.
Good luck to all</p>
<p>^Did you apply to the LEAD program?</p>
<p>i got waitlisted -_-</p>
<p>Binghulu262: I will keep my fingers crossed for you. Thanks for starting this helpful thread, I am looking for possible summer programs for my daughter. She will be eligible next year. does anyone know if other competitive summer programs select in the same fashion? I think it would be nerve racking to wait like some of the applicants on this board. Why is it that some know and some do not?</p>
<p>Congratulations! I’m sure you will have a great time. Come back and give us a report after you complete the program.</p>
