LEDA 2016

@LockAndKi You will not get enough sleep, you will work hard, and you will get into your institutions. I will not be an easy process but you have to trust it. You have to trust it because it works. I got into my #1. We have 12 scholars that got admitted to Stanford. It works. 7 weeks sounds like a long time but its not. At first you might want to go home but you will fall in love and bond together and be crying when you leave. Make the most out of everyday that you are there. It’s worth it.

We have a Cohort 11 facebook group. We asked Ms.Gellene and she said they only accepted about half the cohort. There is still hope.

@shanabanana1 That’s great news then!

Omg only half??? So we still have a really high chance??? @smarttaytay

@smarttaytay Hey. I had my interview last pretty recently, and didn’t receive any email; my interview was before a person who has already been accepted. Does this mean I’m rejected? From the thread last year, it seems as though that those who don’t get notified right away after the interviews are usually rejected. I’m just really worried and don’t know what to do. Can you ask for me? Do I still have hope, or should I just accept rejection?

@smarttaytay what do you mean by “they” only accepted about half the cohort

@da2949 I’m guessing that only 50 people got acceptance emails.

I’m a bit more hopeful now.

I thought 100 people got accepted each year @shanabana

Yeah. I mean 50 so far, which means that those who haven’t been accepted still have a chance.

I think she means that only 50 people have been notified. There’s still about 50 spots left. @da2949

@shanabanana1 girl, you and me are like stressing so hard right now lmao. We still have a chance. That’s good right lets just calm down and hope

Ok I understand now. Thanks

@leenefc @shanabanana1 I’m still rooting for you guys!!

@da2949 Thanks!

@leenefc Praying for us right now lol

@da2949 thank you! official LEDA scholar!!!

@smarttaytay Do you know or do you think you could ask how many applicants on average usually make it into Part II?

@shanabanana1 I know right? I think I’m going to sleep and not wake up until like 2 weeks from now so I stop worrying about this lol

@leenefc I think I’m going to go and avoid the Internet tomorrow lol.
