<p>Well I got this too. And yes, I also applied RD for Washu's Engineering School.</p>

<p>Like several others, I also have seen WashU once already, but I still look forward to this. I guess I will be seeing all of you there. :P</p>

<p>Just wanna say hi and extend my congratulations to all of the talented people who were chosen. Also, if you weren't, sorry but I'm sure you'll get in. :D</p>

<p>I also got into this Dean's Honorary Scholarship thing. I'm not quite sure exactly how much do they give. Can anyone give me a few ballpark figures?</p>

<p>Thanks,
ConstantU4ea</p>

<p>international=mail? and others=e-mail or online?
this is my guess
im international and got one by mail</p>

23

<p>hey chan, where do u live?</p>

24

<p>ya chan and what were your stats?</p>

25

<p>im studyin abroad in canada (korean)
my SAT's were not "great"
1420, 800,760,680, top of class, and some results from math and com. sci. nation-wide competitions</p>

26

<p>That's really cool chan........gives the rest of us internationals hope. Altho i live in australia, so getting a free trip is prob out of the question....as for me, I would settle for a simple acceptance letter....sigh</p>

27

<p>Constant,
I got the Dean's Honorary Scholarship as well, and I have heard that it starts at $2500. I also read on this board that it is based on financial aid as well, but I guess we won't find out until April.</p>

28

<p>Well if it sbased on Financial aid, i'm dead. :(</p>

<p>Lets hope its PURELY merit based.</p>

<p>I was watching CSPAN the other night, and I saw those democrats trying to make merit based scholarships into "financial aid" scholarships.</p>

<p>To me this is utterly ridiculous. :( But anyways, I will be there at WashU.</p>

<p>Foreign students should havea GREAT chance to get in. :) I'm sorta a foreigner, only became a citizen recently. :) Your SATs don't really matter at all, I mean, I got a 1600 (yes a perfect score... sigh) but I still got flat out DENIED to several schools ranked lower than WashU. :)</p>

<p>I think WashU is a great school in that it actually considers your situation before it decides. :)</p>

<p>Kudos to all of you.</p>

29

<p>I was told that it was for $6000 per year. If you call the number on the letter, they will tell you.</p>

<p>hey dude,.. i got the free trip too, but mine is on april 14-17, which is a multicultural celebration weekend because i am chinese. but the fact is i am living really close to Washu., so i dont think i need the tickets. i got this invitation by express-mail. anyone got some thing like this??? btw, i was wondering if they will give out tickets to international students who live far far way~~~ (if they really do, no wonder the tuition increased enormously)</p>

31

<p>coolkid, what college/school did you apply to in wash u?</p>

<p>i dont think it's solely based on finances</p>

32

<p>olin~~~yeah.. i think most of the students got in have invitations, but they are on different date, so that schools can handle the arrangement.
anyone got the "multicultural celebration weekend" thing?</p>

33

<p>coolkid... yah i got the "multicultural celebration weekend" thing too and im in the same situation as you:</p>

<p>live in ballwin (30 mins away from washu) and i'm indian</p>

<p>applied to the engineering school</p>

<p>u going to attend the "multicultural celebration weekend" ?</p>

34

<p>hmm... I'm chinese too but what do u mean by celebration. I don't think there are chinese holidays on those dates</p>

35

<p>i think thats just what wash u calls it. </p>

<p>i'm chinese, but i have an invitiation to go the 9th -11th :-&lt;/p>

<p>maybe multicultural celebration weekend is only for the local students? really weird, and probably not right, but so far 2/2 are st louis people...</p>

36

<p>Yea, I'm Thai, but nowhere near St. Louis. I'm going on the 9th.</p>

37

<p>whaddaup!~~ haha.. when i say i am chinese i really mean "authentic chinese" as a citizen of china(i came here 6 months ago). perhaps that's why?</p>

<p>ariesdrgn, are u american-chinese?</p>

<p>darkhelmet, are u citizen of US?</p>

<p>i am not sure if i will go yet, since on April 17 i will probably have classes in school. btw, i am from parkway central high..</p>

<p>nice to meet u ppl tho.....are u ppl all EDers ? or RDers?</p>

38

<p>what's going on??~~~ i dont understand?</p>

39

<p>are there any weekends for artsci people who aren't "multicultural"?</p>

40

<p>oh ur like...actually chinese. yea i'm definitely chinese-american :P</p>

<p>i'm sure ur school won't mind if u miss a little school to visit wash u.</p>
