<p>If anyone is interested in attending Discovery Weekend, you can register at <a href="http://admissions.wustl.edu/visit/DiscoveryWeekend/Pages/default.aspx">http://admissions.wustl.edu/visit/DiscoveryWeekend/Pages/default.aspx</a>. You don't have to be invited to attend.</p>
<p>It takes place Thurs. 9/18 - Sat. 9/20. My child went last year and his visit solidified his desire to apply to and attend Wash U. The weekend is free - you have to pay for airfare. I'm not sure if some prospective applicants can request free airfare but we didn't. </p>
<p>From the website: During the weekend, you'll stay on campus with a student host and participate in academic experiences and social activities planned just for you. You may also have an optional interview, an optional portfolio review, attend classes, and learn about the application process. </p>
