Hey everybody. I am a current LEAP student. I started two years ago, and am in the middle of my Master's coursework. I would wholeheartedly recommend the LEAP program to any aspiring engineers. The community of LEAP students alone make the program worth it, as it is a very tight-knit group of smart and dedicated (and cool) people. Boston University is very good to its engineering students, and I think the quality of education is much better than BU's engineering rankings would make it seem. The best news is that there is a GENEROUS SCHOLARSHIP (up to 70% of tuition) for almost all LEAP students, though I believe it has become somewhat competitive (it used to be for everyone!).
Anyway, if you have questions about the program, I'd be happy to answer them. Just shoot me a message on this forum.
If you want to contact the program director directly, her name is Helaine Friedlander, and she is extremely helpful and approachable. LEAP is her baby, and she really goes all out to get good students into the program and help them along as they go. Her email is hrf0@bu.edu.
One more thing: LEAP accepts applications for Fall, Spring, or Summer, and you can usually submit an application just a few months/weeks before the start of your intended semester. In my case, I found out that I was in about two weeks before Summer classes started!
Good luck!
