<p>what date does lead start and end this summer?</p>

22

<p>did everyone fill out the survey</p>

23

<p>yeah. did anyone get an acceptance letter yet?</p>

24

<p>Can I call? </p>

<p>The email accompanying the survey say acceptances will arrive the first week of April. They may already have made the decisions, and that postponing notices until April is a matter of logistics. Just in case something happens, they have extra time.</p>

25

<p>did you really call?</p>

26

<p>I thinking of Lead of the summer they sent me an invitation to enroll i think it seems fun</p>

27

<p>Yah, i'm waiting on a result too. They just sent out a survey and said it should arrive lat march/early april.</p>

28

<p>(to the OP) it's not THAT prestigious.</p>

29

<p>say what you want but LEAD is definitely noticed by companies and colleges
and when you include the networking you will do
LEAD can be far more benefitial than RSI
in the end, whatever program worked out best for the individual in terms of the experience, the camraderie, the usefulness in applying for school, and the life-lessons applicable to the real world along with the endless job opportunities should really matter</p>

<p>I'm waiting on it too! It's making me anxious. Is it highly selective? I'm a bit scared because I sent in my application on the 14th with overnight shipping but it got there a day late on the 16th. I hope that doesn't affect my chances.</p>

31

<p>it's crunchtime
I hope they send the decisions earlier than we expect</p>

32

<p>Crossing my fingers!</p>

<p>The expectations scared me though. I mean 100PSAT and 3.0GPA? Doesn't everyone qualify for that? hahahaha. I don't know...ugh it's killing me because it's the only summer program I applied for.</p>

33

<p>Oh, and also I asked about deadline and I said i found out about the program on the 20th. They gave me like until March to turn it in, so deadline isn't THAT huge hahahaahah. Well iono, then again I emailed them especially asking about my case.</p>

34

<p>LEAD is still a great program... one of the best
I am hopeful that we will both get in</p>

35

<p>when is it for Summer 2007?</p>

36

<p>the dates vary by school
but 3 weeks is the length
except at UPENN; it's 4 weeks there</p>

<p>check this out</p>

<p>I found out about LEAD from Kristin Hill</p>

37

<p>I wonder if they have any through June for 2007... maybe it's too late to register =&lt;/p>

38

<p>We should find out the decisions this week. I haven't received a letter yet. Have you guys?</p>

39

<p>nope--I am hoping for a Monday delivery</p>

<p>What did everyone rank as their top choices? I picked Georgetown number one and Penn number 2
In retrospect I wish I would've put PEnn #1 becuase studying at Wharton far outweighs the benefits of being in DC.
Im so excited! I hope I got in</p>
