$115 field trip to Cornell

<p>Today in the mail I got an invite from the office of Admissions and Enrollment to attend a two-day field trip to Cornell University. The letter said that if I paid $115 I would be taken by bus (with other ppl) to Cornell to stay for a night and that would include the cost of food and a room and I'd be hosted by the Red Carpet Society. I'm very interested in Cornell so this seems like something I'm interested in. I'm worried about missing a day of school;I know it sounds nerdy, but I wouldn't be interested in Cornell if I didn't worry about missing a day of school :) Has anyone ever done it before? What was it like? Thank you!</p>

<p>do you live in nj?</p>

<p>Yea I do, did you get one?</p>

<p>yah i did. debating whether or not to go cause my friends are having a party/sleepover that weekend =p maybe if i can convince one of my friends to go</p>

<p>do you know when we have to notify them by?</p>

<p>If you are at all interested in applying to Cornell, this sounds like a valuable opportunity to get to know the school -- even if it means missing one day of school or a sleepover.</p>

<p>I'm probably going.</p>

<p>They said as soon as possible Lurker.</p>

<p>let me guess you guys have like 4.0+ gpas..</p>
