<p>The invitation to apply is targeted, based on information gleaned from the application and/or essays. The interview process, however, is pretty competitive. If your D has read about the Leadership fellows and thinks it might be an interesting path, then it is worth submitting the application and attending Fellows Week-end, which is wonderful. It also substitutes for Accepted Students week-end, so it’s not a special trip if you would be planning to attend that anyway. Just know that she will be competing for a limited # of spots, and she may not be chosen even if she feels she is a good candidate.</p>
