<p>Hey everyone, </p>
<p>Were any of you invited/planning to attend the Discover Colby program in October?</p>
<p>My daughter has applied for the diversity open house - is that what Discover Colby is? We haven't heard, though, whether she has been accepted or not.</p>
<p>I just got an approval email today! Is anybody else going?</p>
<p>bananapancker, my daughter is going. She is thrilled beyond belief! This is her only opportunity to visit Colby, & she's been talking about the school for years. To be honest, I don't know how Colby, in particular, got on her radar.... but I'm very happy that she has this opportunity. It's a long commute for her, and she arrives pretty late Saturday evening.</p>
<p>Chisquare, your daughter got her flight plan already? I'm not quite sure how mine will work because I'm taking the ACTs on Saturday morning, and I have to travel all the way from Honolulu, Hawaii. I've emailed a representative at Colby, but I haven't heard anything yet.</p>
<p>I'll PM you with details.</p>
<p>My D and I will be attending. We are flying out of Fort Lauderdale Sunday morning.</p>
<p>tibet, I'm envious, since my D is going alone. I'd love the chance to see Colby as well! Please let us know your impressions after your trip.</p>
<p>ChiSquare
I will let you know my impressions when I get back.</p>
<p>I'm going! 10 char</p>
<p>Congrats, summer! Are you going alone or with a parent?</p>
<p>Alone. My parents would have liked to come, but suggested that I would get a better impression of the true college experience if I went alone. I'm flying out from Chicago Saturday evening..I'm excited!</p>
<p>Have a wonderful time in Colby! S is a frosh and very, very happy. Please feel free to PM me with questions.</p>
<p>I gather that this program is for minority students--only specific minorities, or all? (I'm Asian, which can be a plus or a minus in admissions.) Also, do you have to be invited or is there a self-initiable application process?</p>
