Leda Scholars Application: 2016-2017

I’m sorry I have no idea :/… And my PSAT scores weren’t great either but surprisingly the day the application was due I got my new PSAT scores and they weren’t much of a disgrace they just weren’t above average lol. hopefully they overlook that because I would love to get in. It was kind of like fate when I got the new scores that day

They don’t weigh test scores that much in their application process because they have test prep.

It’s almost the end of february and we haven’t heard anything :(( .

Isn’t it funny that we’re all just waiting for the storm? We don’t know when it’s going to hit, but when it does, all hell is going to break loose. Some of us will be devasted, others will be filled with joy, then just devastated weeks later from the later rounds. I don’t think I can handle all that stress right now haha, so while everyone else is dying of anxiety, I’m going to catch up on the walking dead :smiley: >:) 8-X

That’s a good way to think about it

So even if we get an email saying we got in there still might be something that takes it away?

Well there’s an interview but most people who were sent an email get in, I think.

I missed so many notifs that I got anxious and thought someone had been notified lol

Hello! I am a Cohort 12 LEDA scholar and I just wanted to look and see if there was a thread on here like there was last year! Turns out there is haha. I’ve been scrolling through the posts and I just wanted to say that everyone who is worried about their standardized test scores should relax! LEDA definetly doesn’t expect you to come in with a super high score (thats what the test prep classes are for). I think they really care the most about who you are as a person. If you guys have any questions feel free to let me know! :slight_smile:

Okay I joined this just to say I m equally nervous and have been checking my email every day! The more I think about it the more I find flaws in my application. I’m worried my essay was bad because I’ve only done one analytical piece of writing and it was rushed due to snow days! Ahh I’m so scared! Good luck everyone ans check your emails everyday! I will be checking here to see if any of you awesome people got in!

Has anyone called and asked them when the first wave of results would go out?

Thank you @nobo8455 ! that was very helpful

@CIRCUITDEBATER I emailed them a while ago but no answer so I don’t want to keep persisting.

Guys we gotta be patient, I know its hard tho

On Twitter they said “We’ll start inviting applicants to submit materials for Part II of the application soon and throughout March.”

When was this @CIRCUITDEBATER
