<p>As an LBW alum who witnessed my peers get accepted, deferred, and rejected from Wharton and CAS this year, I can say that LBW was a deciding factor in admission, although I agree that it could help students who are on the edge. I believe that LBW was seen as equal to many other summer programs at schools other than Penn, and LBW carries the same weight during Penn admissions as it would elsewhere, especially at other Top 20 schools. I definitely recommend LBW if you’re genuinely interested in business, but if you’re only applying to enhance your application, it’s not worth the time, effort, and $6000.</p>
