LEDA Scholars 2014

<p>@luisscarchi23 my Counselor and i were discussing what they might have asked and we were totally wrong lol but it kind of put my mind at ease. My band director is all anxious to learn about my fate too. It’d be really awesome if I get chosen to go! </p>

<p>@notamontague yeah, I wish they could just tell us after the interview. It would relieve so much stress. </p>

<p>@luisscarchi23 well if it is in the next week or so that’d be amazing also :)</p>

<p>@notamontague one of my peers at school was a LEDA scholar and he got in like a week after he was interviewed. He also said it depends on the situation too. </p>

<p>@luisscarchi23 my counselor said since my interview was one of the earlier ones we might hear something soon so yay. This is all so frustrating Haha</p>

<p>@notamontague that’s exactly what I was thinking! Since it’s rolling admission. We were contacted really early. I was looking at last years forum and they weren’t getting news for round 3 until like mid April.</p>

<p>@luisscarchi23 maybe we will learn early April!</p>

<p>I made it to round 3! I was starting to get worried but now I’m even more nervous than before… My interview is either tomorrow or Friday. It says leave 30 minutes for the interview; is it actually that long?! </p>

<p>@bruceallen mine was literally 12 minutes :3</p>

<p>Hey potential future scholars! Just wanted to wish you all the best of luck with your interviews! LEDA is an amazing opportunity, and you can go almost anywhere with it. (about a third of us go to Princeton, Harvard, or Yale every year). Just wanted to pass on some love from an earlier Cohort, and I hope to see all of you at a LEDA reunion someday!
Cohort 8 Love :)</p>

<p>@BruceAllen mine took about 40 minutes! </p>

<p>@luisscarchi23 omg does it vary? Then again Josh said he wanted to keep it brief…</p>

<p>@notamontague I have no idea. James just asked me all the questions. It started at 10 and it ended around 10:40.</p>

<p>@luisscarchi23 Josh asked me a ton of questions too but I was done at 5:12… hmm Oh well! </p>

<p>Well I have Iris so who knows, haha. Did they give you the opportunity to ask them questions as well?</p>

<p>@BruceAllen yes they do at the end.</p>

<p>@BruceAllen you should ask when you can expect to hear back.</p>

<p>I had a couple awkward answers, but I think everyone probably did. Otherwise, it went pretty good I thought. Iris said I should hear from them within a week of the interview.</p>

<p>@bruceallen huh… maybe I will learn in a week too. Maybe Josh just gave a generic answer as to when I’ll hear back? </p>

<p>@notamontague Yeah maybe. You’ll have to let us know right after you find out though</p>
