<p>I have searched the webpage and don't see anything noted.</p>
<p>Is there an Accepted Students Weekend or program ?</p>
<p>Does anyone know the date(s)...as it's much easier buying refundable advance purchase airline tickets now than waiting until April 1 to hear our decisions and being faced with paying outrageous fares.</p>
<p>Anyone?</p>
<p>Admit Weekend is April 22-24. Good luck. :)</p>
<p>it depends on how much the refundable tickets are</p>
<p>btw you can go to <a href=“https://admit.stanford.edu/welcome/[/url]”>https://admit.stanford.edu/welcome/</a> but i dont know how much info you can get without a SUNet ID bc mine is saved on my computer.</p>
<p>personally i would recommend buying the refundable tickets</p>
<p>Thanks for the date ExcitedG</p>
<p>That’s a late date-- gives you a week to decide by May 1!
Stanford on paper is my first choice…but a visit is essential…4 years of my life, lots of money.</p>
<p>Good luck everyone…hard to wait-- especially since I still have senioritis…
Went to PE twice in a row- a miracle for me for sure!</p>
<p>Nope- the link didn’t work…
could you paste the text of whatever you have at that link here for us?</p>
<p>OVERVIEW</p>
<p>See photos from Admit Weekend 2009»</p>
<p>While we know that a single weekend isn’t long enough for you to experience all of the things that make Stanford so uniquely engaging and fun, we think that you can come really close.</p>
<p>That is our goal for Admit Weekend. We want to bring the Stanford undergraduate experience to life for three days so that you can learn firsthand about everything we have to offer — Stanford’s incredible academic resources, beautiful campus, diverse student body, and much more.
Bringing all this to life during one long weekend obviously takes extensive planning, and that is why nearly 1,500 student volunteers are already working to make your Admit Weekend visit as informative, safe, and enjoyable as possible.</p>
<p>Should you choose to attend Admit Weekend, you will be hosted by a current student in his or her dorm room. Housing is available for three nights — Thursday, April 22; Friday, April 23; and Saturday, April 24 (there are no events scheduled for Sunday, April 25). House Hosts and Room Hosts will be your guides for the weekend to give you a better sense of what life as a Stanford student is truly like. They are eager to share their college experience with you, so we encourage all admitted students to attend (feel free to ask lots of questions, too!), if possible.</p>

<p>Not meaning to burst your bubble, but last year there were close to 32,000 applications. Imagine if 32,000 students and their parents bought refundable tickets in anticipation of getting accepted. That is ridiculous odds. Save your money. It’s like dreaming of winning the lottery. sure… you could win, but higher likelihood that you won’t.</p>
<p>lol. and I would HATE to get the ticket, then not get accepted, AND have to get a refund…i’d probably kill myself. lol.</p>
<p>Then again senioritus, you also have a wayy better chance than I do of getting in. I’m guessing Stanford has become your first choice over MIT?</p>
