Leadership in the Business World "LBW" Summer 2014

<p>Hi everyone,</p>

<p>I am excited to be a new member of College Confidential!</p>

<p>I just wanted to start this thread because I noticed that no one had started one for the LBW program at Wharton for summer 2014. I am currently applying and I thought it would be nice to connect with other that are in my position.</p>

<p>Just as a darter, you can post your stats (PSAT, SAT, ACT, GPA, etc.) and maybe how you are going about the essay. Stuff like that, or any questions you have for other people applying.</p>

<p>Also, if you are applying to any other great summer programs, I'd love to hear about them. I am wondering what else is out there, too!</p>

<p>Thanks! :)</p>

<p>hi! I’m applying too - do you know how many people apply? I know only 60 get in.</p>

<p>Hi rpro15! I saw that it was usually over 200 people, but I forget how much over.</p>

<p>Hi! Ok -and i was wrong I meant 120 students, 60 at each campus. Also for the app do you know if you can add more than 3 ECs or awards? Or do you have to just choose 3 because that’s all the space that is given.</p>

<p>Hey, I was thinking of applying. Do you guys know where the application can be found? Also, if you get a spot, are you required to go?</p>

<p>I believe you can only have three extra curricular activities. They don’t have a drop box for files if you want to put your full r</p>

<p>Hi Hawkace, if you get a spot I don’t think you are required to go.</p>

<ol>
<li>If you are accepted, you are not required to go (but you should). </li>
<li>Last year, over 700 people applied. 60 boys and 60 girls are selected.</li>
</ol>

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>Hey everyone, </p>

<p>Does anyone know how many words should be written for the description of the extracurriculars and the honors/awards? </p>

<p>Thanks and good luck!</p>

<p>I have taken the SAT in October for the first time as a Junior and got a 2210 (CR 680 M 730 WR 800). It doesn’t seem to me a very satisfying score, but should I submit it anyway?</p>

<p>If so, how exactly can I upload the “score report”? Should I scan the mailed hard copy?</p>

<p>Thanks in advance.</p>

<p>Hey guys</p>

<p>I’m currently enrolled in AP macroeconomics (but no micro) and AP language and composition and plan to get the two recs from those classes. Which classes are you getting your teacher recs from?</p>

<p>hi,
should teacher references best be the teacher that is currently teaching you? In grade 10, I had a math teacher that taught me gr 11 functions but currently, I have a different teacher teaching advanced functions. My older teacher will likely be able to write a much better reference, as I have been in many of her classes, but will it look bad to take an older one over a more current one?</p>

<p>I’m submitting my ACT score of 35 and getting my two recs from a past internship and my club advisor (as I am founder and president)</p>

<p>Anyone know the answer to sr97329’s question about uploading score reports? I have the same one</p>

<p>How much prior business experience or knowledge is required for this program?</p>

<p>I’m applying this year. I don’t expect to get in b/c there are tons of much stronger applicants, but I’d suppose it’s always worth a shot to apply. I guess I’ll list my stats:</p>

<p>232 PSAT (80M, 80W, 72CR)
AP Scholar with Honor (sophomore)
President of Science Club
Distinguished Finalist at State DECA Conference
International Karate Awards
Started a nonprofit that has raised over $30,000 for underprivileged children in rural Asia
Started a nonprofit tutoring business that is in the works of organizing a math contest for local underprivileged youth</p>

<p>@sr97329: I don’t think there’s any prior business experience or knowledge necessary for the program. I’d assume just strong leadership skills. You should be fine :)</p>

<p>Another question: will we still be able to edit our application before the deadline after we submitted all the sections (including payment)? :slight_smile: </p>

<p>On an irrelevant note, judging from this thread so far there aren’t a lot of people applying this year… </p>

<p>@sr97329 I don’t know how many people applying know about college confidential! Lol but I hope you are right.</p>

<p>I’m also applying, I’ll list my stats later once I know which I’m submitting, but more importantly, what are you guys writing for your essays? Personally, I love my essays, they were very different than the typical business essay, but I’d like to know what everyone else is doing?</p>
