Wharton's LBW 2013

<p>Can international student apply? What is the fee?</p>

<p>Yes, international students can apply! Last year, LBW was about 30% international, I believe. </p>

<p>The application fee is $75 and the actual fee for the program is $5995 although there is financial aid.</p>

<p>Bumping this in case anyone else is interested! The deadline (March 1) is in a little over a month!</p>

<p>Just wondering, if our ACT or PSAT or SAT scores weren’t that high, but one out of the three was decent would you guys suggest only putting in that one score or still leaving in the others?</p>

<p>I am pretty sure that they want you to submit all of the scores…</p>

<p>In the application they don’t ask for superscore; it seems as if they only want one set of scores. Should I fill it out with my superscored scores and send in both sittings of my SAT or just fill it in with one set of scores from one sitting?</p>

<p>Does anyone know how competitive the program is? Also, I’m an applicant from the UK and I was wondering if financial aid was available for international students.</p>

<p>@caughtintraffic, for the recommendation letters, can teachers just write a free-style letter and email to LBW admission office, or they have to get onto a website to fill up some online forms?
thanks;</p>

<p>haha I just figured this out tonight. You have to go into the online application and fill out your two recommenders info (email etc.) and they will be emailed a template for the letter. Hope that helps.</p>

<p>MLB, we did that online thing already, but the template for the letter are not mailed to us, nor to the teachers.</p>

<p>Sorry for not answering questions right away! If you PM me, I will probably be able to answer your questions sooner (as some days if I don’t have a lot of time, I’ll quickly log on to CC and check if I have any PMs rather than checking this thread). </p>

<p>I’m pretty sure I submitted all of my SAT scores last year when I applied, but if you have more questions about them, definitely email the LBW email address! </p>

<p>Last year I think LBW accepted a little more than 25% of its applicants. I’m not sure about the financial aid situation for international students, so I’d recommend emailing LBW and asking. </p>

<p>MLB7492 is right about how you have to do the recommendations. If the template was not emailed to the teachers, then I suggest emailing the LBW account and asking.</p>

<p>Also, sorry if I don’t have definite answers for you guys, but I just don’t want to give anyone the wrong information!</p>

<p>after the application form is done, including essays, we only see a “update” button at the bottom for you to save any changes, no “submit” button to submit the package. Does that mean we have to pay the full payment ($5995) right now, in order to submit the application? I always thought we only need to make payment after the acceptance, not before. please advise. thanks a lot;</p>

<p>mom8dad, I responded to your PM about that, but since other people here may have that question, as well, I’ll answer it here, too: </p>

<p>You do not have to make the full payment until after you are accepted. When you receive the acceptance email, you will also receive instructions about how to make the payment. </p>

<p>You are correct in saying there is no submit button- if I remember correctly, the system just automatically “takes” your application once the deadline has approached.</p>

<p>How did you guys write the activities section? Did you just list all of your accomplishments?</p>

<p>@newuser12345</p>

<p>I listed an activity and described what I do/what the activity is.</p>

<p>Hi, </p>

<p>I have been emailing the LBW email for a couple days now because I have a few personal issues. I have not received any replies…does anyone else have this problem?</p>

<p>Hey all,
Due date is coming up soon – does anyone know exactly when on March 1st the application will be taken from LBW?</p>

<p>Hey sorry I don’t know when, I am going to suggest that it is all filled out before the 1st so that you don’t have any issues. Have many people applied yet???</p>

<p>Best luck to you all :)</p>

<p>I’m applying too!!
Did everyone finish their essays and get their teacher recs? :)</p>
