<p>i guess you guys are right about the race/income class aspect of the admissions process, i'm just venting. i was sooooo excited about this and worked so hard on the essay (though my personal experience essay wasnt so great because the experience couldnt really be put into 500 words (again with the complaining)), only to get rejected :/.</p>
<p>i dont think that race/class come into play, although i am an african american, i do not need financial aid of any sort</p>
<p>Lead does not exclude anyone, but they're target is underrepresented minorities in Business... Etc : Blacls, Hispanics, Some Asians, Native Americans... but they are not confined to those</p>
<p>Anyone going to U of I Lead?</p>
<p>bump
the thread was pushed too far back!</p>
<p>did everyone submit the required documents on time?</p>
<p>sent my stuff in yesterday!</p>
<p>sending my stuff today...it IS due April 10th, right?</p>
<p>yea...I think I remember reading the 10th on the email...</p>
<p>I'm looking forward to the packet from Wharton...hopefully it comes in soon once everything is finalized!</p>
<p>so, do any acceptees not plan on attending?</p>
<p>Does LEAD send out an email that confirms receipt of the signed acceptance docs?</p>
<p>I'm not sure if they send a confirmation. I know we won't get all the additional info for a while...</p>
<p>If they don't send us a confirmation, are we supposed to just blindly send in the tuition??</p>
<p>bump! </p>
<p>this thread needs to come back!</p>
<p>BUMP</p>
<p>Im goin to the SBI at DUKE...anybody else?</p>
<p>so what does everyone think about the one week programs after LEAD that they emailed us about? They seemed cool but the cost of airfare would probably cost more than the program itself...</p>
<p>I got into the Wharton program, but I rejected it for a program at Cambridge, England.</p>
<p>Maybe this will make room for some of you... less qualified people.
Good luck guys.</p>
<p>Hey guys.
I also got into Wharton. Seems like its going to be a ton of fun.
So where are you other Wharton acceptees from?
I'm from Chicago.</p>
<p>Hey Chaosdei...</p>
<p>I'll also be going to Wharton this summer!...to briefly introduce myself, I'm Eddie from south Texas.</p>
<p>There's a few others here who got accepted to different LEAD programs. Hopefully more will stop by before we meet at our SBI...</p>
<p>Sweet. Nice to meet you.
Yeah my name is Pedro.
I think we should start a facebook group for our SBI.
I'll probably do that tomorrow and post the name here.</p>
<p>Hey, I'm going to Wharton! I agree a FB group is in order...I'm from KC by the way.</p>
