Before i get to the questions…a few other things you should know (if you don’t already)

LBW
1.)60 kids, 30/30 male/female
2.)no college credit
3.)54 or 57 hundred dollars i forget which…
4.) ~300 applicants for 60 spots…a ~20% acceptance rate
5.) anyone can apply

LEAD
1.)30 kids, BUT there are 11 sites and the application asks you to specify your top 5, meaning you really are applying for 1 out of 150 spots
2 ,3.)i have no idea about college credit or cost but im sure you could find it in another thread
4.)LEAD website says they get 1200+ apps a year for 370 spots…which is a 30% acceptance rate
5.)you must be a US citizen or permanent resident to apply

and for the questions…


Do you mean friendly as in more likely to accept you if you haven’t had business education? or friendly as in if you haven’t had business education you wont be completely lost during the summer curriculum?
LEAD’s website specifically says their SBI is based on the case study system; LBW’s has nothing about it. I’m sure LBW uses it (it was invented at Wharton after all) but the websites make me think it would be more heavily incorporated at any LEAD SBI location than at LBW
Check previous threads…I haven’t been so I can’t really say anything…but all I’ve seen is happy people (at least on CC)


hope that helps
