My son was invited and he’s planning on going. Anybody else?
This early?! My DD went to one that was in the spring when she applied. Heck, she hadn’t even applied by this time her senior year! It never occurred to me that they might run multiples throughout the year.
The deadline for applying for SBHC is in December. So it makes sense for it to be in November. Previous years seem to have been around the same time. They may run another in the Spring for admitted students.
Guess what DS got in the mail today? An invitation to Scholars Day. He won’t be attending since he visited the school last year and is hoping to get invited to the day they do the CME program.
The letter said they would be offering sessions for the special programs and the opportunity to talk to reps from CME, SBHC and Lott, do you live far? We visited last year also and he was already accepted to the BME program. He is going to visit again. Ole Miss is one of his favorites thus far.
We are far (9 hours) and he visited and toured CME last spring. That’s where we heard about them bringing students to campus for interviews. Since we’re far enough away, he could Skype interview, but would prefer to go to campus if we can make it happen. DS would chose to attend a university closer to home if he was not accepted into CME.
We are about the same, I think. We did the junior preview during spring break, so this will be our first opportunity to be on campus when students are there. Hopefully it is not too cold by then, so driving down won’t be bad. It is definitely iffy in winter for us to try to drive so far. Flying doesn’t save much, as travel to O’Hare on our side and the n the drive from Memphis on the other takes all day anyway. Might as well save the airport frustration and just drive as long as there is no snow or ice.
