Does anyone know when Data Science Academy Get released? I didnt do the priority deadline but I submitted early March.
I got priority waitlisted rip but I don’t think it’ll be cancelled since it’s such a large and prestigious summer camp, and I’m sure a ton of you have committed and prob haven’t applied to other summer camps
hi anybody know what time the April 1st decisions come out?
Admitted Sophomore!!!
4.0 GPA but no SAT scores
rip session 1 was cancelled.

I got an email.
Are we getting a refund if it gets canceled?
Do you know anything about session 2?
Yes, everything besides the application fee. As for session 2, it is not cancelled as far as I know. If you got in, they will send you an email if it gets cancelled.
Is there a group chat on instagram for session 2?
Do you know if there’s a group chat for session 2?
somebody add me to a session 2 group chat. In addition, is session1 going online?
can someone from s1 post a screenshot of the cancellation email? is it going virtual?
Ok I message you since cc doesn’t really allow links.
where can i find the groupchat for session 2?
penn just closed all on-campus summer programs so Session 2 will probably be virtual if it happens.
probably not
They are actually going online, so not bad.
If you do some digging, the way they are going online looks like bad news for students accepted into LBW.
In the email I received this morning, it specifically said that the online opportunity is not designed to “replicate” LBW in person sessions. My guess is that they are offering this Generic online opportunity to all the students accepted into the following Wharton Summer Programs, including LBW, Essentials of Finance, Essentials of Entrepreneurship and Data Science. To back this up, note the email mentions that the online opportunity will include “Entrepreneurship, Data Analysis and Future of Finance”.
This is bad because LBW is very competitive and carries a lot of prestige, but the other three programs are basically “Pay to play”, I think they take everyone who applied. If this online opportunity is indeed offered to everyone as I suspected, then its goal is probably more on the revenue generation side.
There is a related announcement on Wharton Summer Program home page. Looks like they will replicate MTS&I and Money Ball through online session with wording of “shifting online”, but only provide generic online opportunities to all the other programs which have status as “Cancelled”.
I worked very hard to gain admission to LBW. Now any perceived prestige is gone with this move to treat LBW as a “Pay to Play” program just like “Essentials of something…”, I’m very disappointed.
Why they can’t just replicate LBW via online session?
