Anybody invited for first round interviews for Blackstone Launchpad or Future leaders program?

I was recently invited for a first round for Launchpad, and I was wondering if anybody else is in the process or has received an offer for summer 2027? Idk what the timelines look like so I'm interested in seeing if anybody has any updates

Based on the most helpful WSO content, there isn't specific information available about the Blackstone Launchpad or Future Leaders Program timelines for summer 2027. However, in previous years, candidates for similar programs like the Blackstone Future Diversity Leaders or Women Leaders Program typically received updates or interview invitations a few weeks before key deadlines, with some hearing back by mid-February for programs starting in the summer.

If you've already been invited for a first-round interview, you're likely on track with their process. It might be helpful to connect with others in the same program or check WSO forums for updates from peers who might share their experiences. Good luck with your interview!
