<p>what exactly is the LEAD program ? is it better/worse/equal than the LBW</p>

2

<p>LEAD's for URM...and it's more prestigious & competitive than LBW I believe</p>

3

<p>Lead is "Leadership Education and Development". It is oriented toward "underserved groups". It runs at 12 grad. B-Schools, not just Wharton. It costs $750 and you choose 4 of the 12 schools with no guarantees as to which you'll get.</p>

<p>LBW is "Leadership in the Business World". It is more like a "taste of Wharton" and costs $5200.</p>

<p>Links to both are here:</p>

<p>Both involve the month of July in lovely west Philly.</p>

<p>I want to do either lbw or lead but I am not sure which one I should apply to</p>

5

<p>well if you're not black, hispanic, or native american, don't apply to LEAD</p>

6

<p>I did LEAD!</p>

7

<p>I am an Asian Indian.. If it is more competitive then why can't I apply to it</p>

8

<p>Because it is a program solely for under-represented minorities (URM).</p>

<p>Last time I checked Indian wasn't one of them</p>
