<p>Hey all,</p>
<p>Applications are out now. I have been wanting to attend since last summer, and really hope I will be able to attend this summer.</p>
<p>I know it is really expensive, so my question is: Is it worth it?</p>
<p>Let's discuss!</p>
<p>honestly, dont go… not worth all that money (1/5 of a years college tuition!!!)
Friend went there last year, said that it was mediocre. Just find an internship near your city or something (for free!)</p>
<p>read the 2009 thread. it was really helpful for me to make a decision. i just paid the 75$ application fee this morning so looks like i’ll be applying this year.</p>
<p>I am also interested in applying. Do you have to fill in everything on the first page minus the essay before paying the application fee?</p>
<p>@itshelenmelon I was wondering that too, so I’m probably going to email them to find out. I’ll let you know.</p>
<p>Any other thoughts on this? And how is LBW compared to LEAD?</p>
<p>misterkevinsun: did you by any chance find out?</p>
<p>This program looks pretty legit from the website, but what is it actually like? I don’t want to pay 5000+ bucks if it’s not a good program…</p>
<p>@itshelenmelon: Hey, there’s an address in the FAQ that explains the process.</p>
<p>[Leadership</a> in the Business World](<a href=“http://precollege.wharton.upenn.edu/lbw/faq.html]Leadership”>http://precollege.wharton.upenn.edu/lbw/faq.html)</p>
<p>Still no responses… The 2009 thread was really active. =</p>
<p>I’m hoping to apply too! The application looks pretty short, due in March. What kind of business experience do you guys have at your school?(FBLA, etc)</p>
<p>And it is really expensive…$5400. I thought prestigious programs were suppose to be cheaper because you can get scholarships?</p>
<p>This program looks sooo amazing. Have you guys finished the leadership essay yet? I’m still not sure what to write for it. And is it a 1-3-1 essay cause it seems kinda short?</p>
<p>anyone know when the application is due? (exact date)</p>
<p>I think its March 7th, and then like they give u 1 more week for the mailed material</p>
<p>Thanks. Also, i’m getting a bit nervous because there’s no “submit” button on the online application… what if I want to submit it early? Does anyone know why this is?
Will they automatically take in all the applications on March 7?</p>
<p>I did LBW 2009 it was a great experience. Trust me it is very under-publicized but the program is definitely worth the money. If money is a problem you can also apply for financial aid. The head RTA Anisha Atluri was my RTA last year she’s amazing too.</p>
<p>Did anyone take a look at the updated LBW website???
Apparantly as of 2010 there’s a LBW East (at UPenn) and LBW West at Wharton’s campus in San Fran.
Which one are you guys applying to!? I have no idea.</p>
<p>East, i live on the east coast so yea. How do you send in test reports? Do they just want a printout of SAT scores or something?</p>
<p>that makes sense since you live on the east coast. i’m still undecided.
as for the SAT scores, i’m just sending a photocopy of my official scores. if you’re unsure you should e-mail them, they’re pretty helpful.</p>
<p>Well, I’ve narrowed down my choices to LBW, M&TSI, and LEAD. Does anyone know why the programs are so expensive? I live right next to UPENN (my sister goes there for medical school), but they still require me to board there. </p>
<p>Is there any substantial benefit from going to one of those programs that makes the money worth it?</p>
<p>Are you guys doing 1-3-1 essays? It seems a bit short for that and i was considering doing just 2 body paragraphs</p>
<p>Haven’t started yet. I’m progably going to apply to East even though i’m from California. Deadline is March 1 for apps and March 7th for score reports, etc.</p>
