Will attending Wharton’s LBW this summer increase my chances of getting into UPenn?
From what I have heard it does not increase chances of admission.
@ilovebio5 Not in any meaningful way, but if you are interested in Penn, attending the program is a good chance to experience life on campus and get to know Penn better.
Oh okay, its just that many people have told me that the school claims that it does not increase your chances but 2/3 of people who attend the program are granted admission
Wharton claims it does not guarantee your admission, but like Penn95 mentioned, it can give you a feel of the campus and student life. It’s most likely a valuable experience and I would participate regardless.
Agree with above poster that it does not really help with admission, but it’s another way to show involvement in the summer and interest in business. I have a friend who attended but did not get into Wharton, though.
