Leda Scholars Application: 2016-2017

Will we be notified by email, mail, or phone call? Also, does everyone find out if they did or did not make it to the next round?

Does anyone know how they narrow down the results?

I’m so anxious! I can’t wait for results to come out!

I’ve been checking my inbox everyday since I turned it in!

@AspireandDream LEDA told us that they will release decisions in late February, so I have just resolved myself to wait. :>

I’m not going to start stressing until February.

@univbound101 When did they say late february?

If you have any questions about LEDA’s recruitment and admissions process that is not answered on our website, please contact us at recruitment@ledascholars.org.

How many people usually apply to the LEDA program? I know only 100 people get in.

What’re the odds of actually getting selected? I mean I know it’s highly competitive and all. But now I feel like I’m getting my hopes up for no reason lol

@mangoloverr Your statistical chances are about 10% but that’s assuming that all applicants are equally qualified. I believe 200 applicants make the first cut so if you make the first cut, then you have a great chance!

have any of you had trouble getting on the www.ledascholars.org website? Whenever I try, I get an error.

Me too! Is anyone applying to the Johns Hopkins Summer program (Discover or Summer University)???

Can’t believe I just found this thread: I applied for LEDA and can’t wait for the results to come back soon in late Feb.- March. Best of luck to all of us, aye?

Well by two weeks from now, most of us will know whether we are still in the running or not.

Did any of you apply to the Yale Bassett Award for Community Engagement? The deadline was yesterday.

@aspiringgirl I did apply, I was going to ask if anyone else was going to apply. Did you apply, if you did best of luck! I know that this is the first year they’ve done the award.

@lcr2200 @aspiringgirl I applied to the Yale Basset Award and the Princeton Prize in Race Relations. I hope we all get it!

I didn’t know about either of those so I couldn’t apply :(( Are there any other awards or competitions like the Yale Bassett Award or the Princeton Prize in Race Relations?

Last year the first person was notified on February 13 so we should be expecting something within the next two weeks
