<p>Did everyone get an invitation to this.. or is it just minorities? I am Indian... ORM, so I was wondering why I got it. Has everyone else gotten it, too? It's April 19-21 with 20th just a regular preview day.... Will everyone be attending?</p>
<p>I’m asian as well and haven’t gotten it (tho I live in canada). is it something akin to benjamin franklin scholars, etc?</p>
<p>I got one. apatel… are you going? </p>

<p>Hi, congrats on getting admitted to Upenn! I too was admitted and I was wondering did you get the invitation through the mail, or was it an email? And what part of the US do you live in? I live in Arizona and I have no received anything. Thank You</p>
<p>I got the invitation, and I am Persian (which usually isn’t considered a minority, but I guess its is for Penn 
) I am attending… and VERY excited for it… anyone else attending?</p>
<p>yes I’m so excited and then staying through till the 21st</p>
<p>Wow I’m very excited. I’m pretty sure i’ll be going! Hope to see you guys there!! I live in Maryland (Eastern Shore)- about two and a half hrs from philly by car. I received the packet in the mail yesterday; I’m sure you guys will get yours soon!</p>

<p>Hmmm… I wonder how many people are invited to this thing bc there aren’t multiple dates its available, so either not many people were invited, or there will be A TON of people there. Since it’s a scholars event, I also wonder whether it has to do w/ student caliber, not just ‘multiculturalism’… although that would also surprise me because everyone (just about) is extremely smart, and I don’t see how they can choose the strongest of such a strong class… just thoughts</p>
<p>I’m Hispanic and I got one… I hope I can go, though it’s frustrating that all of the colleges I was accepted to put their special preview days on that same weekend, and now I’ll have to choose. Sigh.</p>
<p>I’m Asian and I received one. I found my invitation on the decisions page, on the right of the page in the menu column thing</p>
<p>hey everyone, im a freshman, and yes, it is for minorities. i suggest that you all come because i went and penn made a huge impression on me (obviously, haha). anyway, ill be hosting one a student and personally, i think its a great way to look at the academic and social side of penn. its a great place and i hope you all have fun! :)</p>
<p>it kinda makes sense cause like 37ish percent of penns student body are minorities…im cming btw!!!</p>
<p>awesome! can’t wait to see you there, fellow Marylander haha. If you don’t mind, what minority are you? Bc I think there’s still some discrepency as to whether only certain minorities are invited…</p>
<p>When I tried to fax my rsvp in, the machine told me there was no answer on there end. Did anyone else have problems with the number?</p>
<p>is it only for regular decision applicants? cuz to try to get ppl to come to penn?</p>
<p>i didn’t get invited to this one (i’m ED), but i went to one in september for prospective frosh…</p>
<p>i’m kind of upset i wasn’t invited to this! :(</p>
<p>lol i think then it’s a marketing thing lol…they don’t need to waste money on us ED kids…we are already def going lol
i went to the financial aid office to bargin for more money…they refused cuz i was ED…:(</p>
<p>Same I wasn’t invited (and ED)…oh well I hope I’m not missing out on much.</p>

<p>you should have known before you applied ED that you were essentially giving up your right to negotiate financial aid. that’s why a lot of people opt to apply RD.</p>
