Lead engineering 2011

<p>Who has applied? Anyone heard back?!?!</p>

<p>I applied about a week ago and got a message that same day saying they received my application. Results get back late this month. I created a Lead Engineering 2011 thread too but got no replies haha. You applied?</p>

<p>This is an awesome program. My S went to UVA last year and had a blast. Good luck!!!</p>

<p>I applied to the Lead engineering for summer of 2011 and haven’t heard back yet. All of I heard was them asking for my midyear grades. Anyone heard back or know when they will hear back?</p>

<p>They should have sent you an email saying that they recieved you’re application a few days after you applied. If they said they needed your midyear grades maybe you were missing that from your app. We won’t know whether we got in or not until Next week most likely.</p>

<p>I still haven’t heard back, have you?</p>

<p>I checked the website and it says they will start contacting applicants starting March 4th.</p>

<p>ahhh so far away thats like friday!!!
anyways, do you think i could know your stats?
is lead engineering really prestigious?
i mean i’m iranian so i’m realllly low minority, so do you think i could get in even with bad pSAT scores but all A’s for midyear and stuff?</p>

<p>Since the LEAD Engineering program is fairly new (just started in 2008) it’s no where near as hard to get into as their LEAD Business program (which has been running since 1980). I think as long as you have great recs and essays that showed you have a great interest in engineering and/or science/math; and if your grades are decent you should be good. </p>

<p>I’m only a sophomore and my PSAT grade was really bad lol! But if you have all As and the rest of your app was good I’m sure you’ll be fine. </p>

<p>They have 150-200 spots so that’s a lot of students, I think we both have good chances because since it’s new they need kids to come for it to get a prestigious rep like their business program. </p>

<p>What college were you hoping to stay at if you get in? (UVA, UMichigan, Villanova, UC Berkley or Georgia Tech?)</p>

<p>omgg yeah my PSAT was soo bad! i just took the sat and it was better but its too late to send that now
i really hope we get in!!! i hope the psat doesn’t affect us!
are you a girl or boy?? sorry can’t tell from your name thingy
i’m a girl, sophomore, all A’s in all honors/AP courses. Really want to get in!!
I had good recs and an essay about computer viruses,
what about you?
i have no idea about the college, they didn’t even ask! and do you know the dates?
i’d lovvvveee to go to berkeley hbu?!?!</p>

<p>I’m a girl and wow thats really good that you’re in APs already. Besides the self-descriptive essay my other article essay was about fossil fuels and its effects. I live in New York so going to California would be really cool but I don’t mind where I go I guess, I just want to get in!</p>

<p>YEAH i want to get in soooo bad! i feel like it would be sooo much fun living on campus and such…
post on here as soon as you find out!
i’m surprised that no one else has commented…
maybe no else applied (haha i wish)
well tomorrow we find out, so good luck!</p>

<p>ahh i’m a semifinalist so my chances of getting in are slim,
what about you??</p>

<p>WAIT has anyone found out if they got in or not?!?</p>

<p>UTSTANFORD, have you heard back?
no one so far has heard of acceptances/rejections i don’t know about kmt901 though</p>

<p>I haven’t heard back yet, I called and they said if I don’t hear anything by Wednesday then I should call and they’ll read me the results. Pkhosr45, you’re a semi-finalist?? Well if someone decides not to go, they could have a spot for you. I hope I get in, I’m so nervous now!</p>

<p>I’m a “semifinalist,” which probably means waitlisted. I do know that many people drop out of this program and opt for a better one, so as long as the semifinalist list isn’t too extensive, we still have a chance.</p>

<p>^ can you post your stats
how did you find out?</p>

<p>but hoowww did u find out if u where a semifinalist???
email-mailll what?
cause some ppl have not heard</p>

<p>I received an email on the fourth. Maybe they sent out semifinalists first? I suspect that if you did not receive an email on the fourth, you must have either been accepted or rejected.</p>
