<p>I was going to go to WashU's minority weekend, then I got a letter in the mail that said I was not eligible for financial aid at Washington, so I was like, WAIT CORNELL!!

<p>Two questions:
a)what is it?
b)is everything really free?
c)how did you guys find out about it?
d)is it only open to minority students?</p>
<p>hmm im a minority and I didn't get invited :( what's their basis for choosing people?</p>
<p>a) its a hosting weekend just for URMs
b) yes everything is really free (airfare included)
c) you have to get an invitation in order to go.
d) yes its only open to minority students</p>
<p>I'm excited about DHW b/c I actually hosting 2 prefrosh this year. If any of you guys go make sure your host takes you to the MILRSO fashion show. Its the most awesome show you will ever see at Cornell. :)</p>

<p>Not all minority students are invited because there is very limited space. An even smaller number of ED minority students are invited b/c they try to use DHW as a tool to convince you to come to Cornell (which they don't need if you were ED).</p>

<p>ohlala you sound fun starmel lol =)</p>
<p>when do invitations go out? Is it with the initial letter of acceptance for Rolling schools or do they come with the fin aid packet and such in April?</p>
<p>they sent my invitation recently, right after i got my likely letter</p>
<p>your invite is separate from your acceptance letter (its actually a big folder full of stuff). if you get a invite you will be accepted (as DHW is only for accepted students).</p>
