<p>Hi,</p>
<p>My D was invited to go to the University’s Honor Program Overnight. Unfortunately, we have a previous engagement and she doesn’t want to take the time out of school. Do you think this will impact her getting in and/or her chance for scholarship money?

<p>My daughter was invited and is going. We cannot go with her, but she has friends at the school, so she will be going on her own.
I don't think not going will hurt your daughter in any way. I'm sure they understand that not everyone can make it on a specific date.</p>
<p>My s didn't go to see American until after he was accepted. He then went to the spring honors overnight. It didn't affect his scholarship chances (he received a full ride before his visit). I don't think it will matter. However I think the most important part of the process were the nights he spent after he was accepted. He got a real feel for each school he was seriously considering at that time. His mindset was different at that time than while filling out apps.</p>
<p>Do you think that she should e-mail them that she is interested, but cannot attend?

<p>Mbe...couldn't hurt!!!
I'll have my daughter post her thoughts here for you after she attends if you'd like.</p>
<p>Yankeegirl, please do ask your daughter to post; that would be wonderful. We just got back from a day visit to AU; wouldn't you know that the invitation for the Honors Overnight was waiting for us when we returned! We would have scheduled things differently if we'd known the overnight was a possibility for her, but at least we got to make a one-day visit.</p>
