Hey guys. Now as we have submitted our LBW applications, what are you stats?
Hey so I’m an international applicant, so I don’t think my stats would be particularly relevant, but for other international applicants, here you go:
Background: Indian male, studying in the top-ranked high school in India
10th grade subjects: English, Maths, Hindi, History/Geogo, Physics, Chem, Bio, Comp Sci
GPA- (acc to ICSE - the board in India) - 93/100
Rank - 3/130ish
ECs:
- Founder, CEO of a profitable company, (entrepreneurship)
- Won 2 national competitive economics/business competitions
- Won a national start-up pitching competition, and a few stock simulation competitions as well (all national-level, reputed)
- Authored an economic policy research paper published in The International Journal of Scientific Research publications
- Won best, outstanding delegate, hon mention awards at multiple international MUNS, chairing at my school’s MUN this year
Essay: I mainly talked about an unofficial leadership role at one of my first MUNs, and wrote the other essay about cricket, a sport I love
Hope this helps! Could others also share their stats?
Also, is this program particularly prestigious? I was told that they’re highly selective, and take only 120 each year, but given the expensive program costs and the fact that there’s no aid available, is this just a cash cow or is it reputed?
Definitely reputable. Some argue that other previously competitive programs, such as Launch X, are becoming somewhat ‘pay-to-play.’ However, LBW has kept its prestige and continues turning down over 80% of its applicants. Typically, if they turn down a large percentage of highly qualified applicants, you do not have to worry about it being a cash cow.
did u guys get the email just now?? im so sad

omg autocorrect didn’t mean that emoji
yes, really disappointing ;(
Almost 4400 for a 2-week virtual program, maybe LBW is becoming pay-to-play haha. Seriously though, I’m really sad about this :;(
Wow, I just saw the email, I’m sad although I can’t say that I am too surprised that they decided to go online. Is anyone thinking about doing the Wharton pre-baccalaureate program?
Hello! For anyone attending Wharton LBW 2021, I would like to make an Instagram group chat to connect. Please reply with your instagram handle or shoot me a DM if you would like to be included. My username is @maxreichstein. Looking forward to meeting everyone!
