<p>i recieved an invitation to the VISION 2005 "special weekend for ethnically diverse students." its feb 24-27 and all travel expenses are paid. basically the schedule consists of a reception, attend classes, activities, etc....</p>

<p>the wierd thing is i applied interim decision and i believe ID applicants get notified feb 10 whether they're in or not. however, this VISION weekend is feb 24-27. so is there a good chance i got accepted? i mean, why else send an invite to early and use university time and money for 4 days if you dont already know the student got accepted. well, i'm not getting my hopes up. has anyone heard of the weekend for "ethnically diverse students" (aka minorities)?</p>

<p>sidenote: i just reread my post and just wanted to say i'm not trying to brag or anything, if thats how it sounds...damn my selfconsciousness...</p>

<p>well..i am asian...but nowadays asians are "white"....i think</p>

6

<p>have any accepted ED applicants received this?
and based on that old thread, it DOES sound like coqui is in. Congratulations!</p>

7

<p>So do asians count as "ethnically diverse"?</p>

8

<p>congratulations ill cya there!!
haha i like how we posted the exact same question at around the same time.</p>

9

<p>i was accepted ED, but havent gotten this invitation...but then again, im asian as well</p>

10

<p>i guess asians dont count...why do pp consider asians to be "white" ...we are asians foos!! But i really dont care because i really dont pay attention to race...everyone is just everyone to me..the individual...yall might not believe me because everybody says they say the same thing, but i really dont.. maybe it is because i go to school full of different ppl that i got used to seeing them or something...well, we all came from adam and eve so yeah..hmm...</p>

18

<p>yeah, asians aren't considered minority. :(</p>

19

<p>Last time I checked, Asians are a minority.</p>

<p>What you mean to say is that we are not a member of an "Under-Represented Minority."</p>

<p>really? I thought that they were so abundant that they aren't considered in affirmative action anymore... Then again, I don't keep up with current events.</p>
