To the non-diversity, how did you get into some of these sophomore programs?
Incoming freshman at a semi-target/target (Think UVA UNC BC Ross) and I want to know what it takes for non diversity to get into these sophomore programs such as the Citi SLP and BAML program.
I am not considered diversity, but I am first gen low-income if that helps at all.

I'm also interested in this as well. I am going to a top LAC and I want to know what it takes to get into these sophomore programs as a non diversity
Citi SLP is not exclusively diversity from what I’ve heard, with sophomore programs and this one specially, try to network and apply as early as possible.
I will look through the thread more about how to network, but how early are we talking? Beginning of freshman fall? Now? Or freshman spring once I have some grades to show?
Can confirm Citi SLP is not diversity only. That being said the program is more competitive than their junior SA program with a acceptance rate below 1%.
Okay. What can I do right now to maybe improve my chances? What do they look for if you are non-diversity?
Straight white males need not apply.
I'm not sure what that means, but I am a straight Asian (Vietnam/Thailand) Male. Damn, there's no love for low-income students?
I never understood why low income Asians were never included in diversity programs. There is a world of difference between the experience of a Laotian/Vietnamese immigrant and rich, educated Chinese/South Asian ones.
Of course, most of these diversity programs at colleges and firms are just for show, and do nothing to actually help the socioeconomically disadvantaged, so go figure.
bump.. curious to know more
