Hi, I have some questions

  • what are the people like?
  • what do you do on weekends and evenings? are activities planned or can you just go out and do your own thing?
  • are they strict on rules like bed time etc, and what kind of things did people get away with?
  • overall what was the experience like?

if you could provide answers to these i’d be really thsnkful

i’m u mich session 2

284

Does anybody know what the age demographic is like at LaunchX? I’m assuming that there are less seniors compared to juniors, sophomores, and freshmen. Anybody know the specifics?

285

@billywill18 I’m pretty sure they don’t take anyone that’s a current senior, the only people they take are current freshman, sophomores, and juniors, and its an even mix of sophomores and juniors, but very few current freshmen. My interviewer told me they accept like 1-5 current freshman usually

286

hey guys, i can see in my application portal that the launchX team viewed my application about 6 days ago and that they then closed it. I have not received an interview request yet. Does anyone know how many days were between them viewing your application for the last time and sending you an interview request. I sent in my application the last day of regular decision, so I know that I will be one of the last people they contact. Does anyone have any insight for me? Was anyone rejected without getting an interview? My anxiety is through the roof. Also, congrats to all who were accepted!

287

Hey guys how many days after the interview did you guys receive the acceptance letter? Its been nearly a week since my interview and I’m kinda nervous, though I did receive the letter to state my preferred location after the interview.

288

Hey Guys! Is there anyone who got accepted to Cambridge/Boston location?
And, is there anyone from India who got accepted there?

Can we connect?

289

Hi! @TheKops ! Well, in my case, they took more than half a month to declare the results.
So, I think you shouldn’t be nervous. They do take time. And they will inform anyway.

@BigBoi123456 I ll be at launch for umich session 2! I can pm people on college confidential yet but dm me on discord unicorn#4606!

291

Just got accepted to UMich session 1! Did anybody make a groupchat or something for this session yet?

292

Just got into UPenn location! If anyone wants to connect I can share my instagram or discord.

Also, I hope my acceptance wasn’t a fluke. I didn’t see a letter when I logged into my portal or anything (as others have previously mentioned) but I got a email saying I was accepted.

293

@hereiamwhee I also only received an email so far so I’m guessing they just haven’t gotten to updating the portal yet lol.

294

@sshyde hey, I sent a friend request over discord

295

Yo hereiamwhee, I also got into the UPenn location! Can you share your Instagram and discord so we can connect? Thanks!

Also, how much programming knowledge should we know beforehand? I know some, but I might have forgot a lot of it…

297

@elyes2002 they started offering financial aid. they decided to return the aid for the international students by the regular deadline. so you should mail them asking for it. good luck!
