Campus Stay Invite

<p>I was wondering if anybody else got a letter inviting you to come out and visit the college all expenses paid for by the University. If anyone else got the letter, do they send this to everyone on the mailing list or selectively?</p>

<p>Selective....I believe</p>

<p>definitely selective. i got one, too. anyone know how many they invite to stay with all expenses paid?</p>

<p>My S went to the Discovery Weekend two years ago and I believe they invited about 400 students and not everybody was all expenses paid.</p>

<p>does any one know how it is chosen though: SAT Scores, GPA, PSAT Scores, AP Scores and how they get this information anyway, I dont think i have done anything besides fill out an interest card</p>

<p>Sometimes high schools send information about their students...</p>

<p>So it would be (somewhat) safe to say that if you are chosen as an all-expenses-paid visitor, that you have a fair chance of getting in?</p>

<p>Well I wouldn't go so far to say that you're basically in but it looks like you are looking good in their book.</p>

<p>I was invited, too!!!
Thank you Mrs. Bobby Golliday!</p>

<p>i didn't know it was selective! i thought they sent it to everyone on their mailing list. wow. i'm excited that i got that now. i'm definitely going - i love washu!</p>

<p>It seems that WashU invites a number of selected students all expenses paid.
Also it seems that most of these students are minorities.
This year they are predicting to have between 300-400 students visiting on Sept 27-29. My daughter was invited and she is going!</p>

<p>are you sure that it is selective?</p>

<p>i got invited too</p>

<p>Of course is selective...they do not invite every high school senior in the country. They invite 300 students out of more than 2 million high school seniors ....it does not get more selective than this. And the ones invited are not people with 2.0 GPAs and 150 in their PSAT.
Consider the invitation an honor and enjoy it!</p>

<p>wow i didn't know it was that selective!
i'm going too and i'm really excited :) i love the sound of the school
anyone have any tips on important things to see or do on campus that may not be part of the tour?</p>

<p>Discovery weekend is coming up. Does anybody know more details?</p>

<p>I wish I could stay through Saturday since Saturday afternoon will be the start of the fun for the students already there</p>

<p>Lupe Fiasco and some others are coming
I think Common (but I do not remember any other names besides Lupe's name)</p>

<p>Lupe Fiasco, DJ Unk, Sugar Hill Gang and Kid Beyond will be performing.</p>
