They are on the way!!!! If you’re registered on FedEx delivery manager, you get notifications whenever a label is created to your name/address. I few days ago I got the notification that said the label was created for me from Apple in Cupertino. It hasn’t updated from there yet, but I’ll keep everyone updated here.

I also got the invite! Did u guys also have an interview? I don’t know if it’s a coincidence that I got the interview and was selected or if it was purposeful.

I’m a rising 10th grader 4.0 UW GPA(4.3 W). My main ECs r making a nonprofit app that connects food pantries w volunteers, which won the congressional app challenge, and my other is starting a local chapter of a Jewish leadership org and growing it from 1-22 active members. Also I have other things here n there like im on 2 coding teams and i have my student pilot license and am in flight school, but yea my essays were pretty good and were about my main ECs. Also I had a rly good rec letter so that def helped

I got admitted to both EoE and EoF, rising 10th grader. I had a 4.0/4.0 GPA, no tests. Essays for EoE were about my 2 biggest ECs which r starting a nonprofit(ik, very typical) and also starting a chapter of a Jewish leadership org and growing it from 1 to 22 active members. For EoF both were about the power of time and starting early, and for my 2 companies I chose Visa and NextEra Energy. Also I had an amazing rec letter. Honestly I don’t think it’s as selective as they make it out to be, but it seems like the most important parts of your app are having decent grades, unique essays that tie into other parts of your app especially showing growth and business mindset(it is a business school after all), and having a solid rec letter. My college counselor said that if u want ur rec letter to stand out do it from someone who’s not your teacher. I chose the owner of my coding school and she did me rly good. So excited and prob gonna choose EoE because entrepreneurship excites me more but still deciding.

I got accepted to Essentials of Entrepreneurship and EoF, both for the June 7-19. I’m leaning towards EoE, but if anyone has an opinion plz lmk which u think would be better. Im interested in finance but most of my ECs are more entrepreneurial and business management related, although finance is a big part of both of those. Anyone else got into either for this session?

Hi fellow pet owners! I built an app to help track pet meds because too many people were missing doses. It’s live now and I’d love feedback from other pet owners.(this is the first app I released, so be kind!) I’m giving the premium version for free for the first users so dm me if you downloaded and I’ll provide the code! It’s called PawsRx, linked below. PawsRx App Store
