My mom's friend's family visited Cornell for free...

<p>She's claiming that Cornell had sent them free tickets to Ithaca for them to visit Cornell and its campus. Is this possible? I already bought 4 airplane tickets and I don't want it to go to waste....</p>

<p>They were probably invited to visit through the Diversity Hosting Weekend. The program pays for accepted URM students to visit Cornell.</p>

<p>Do they pick randomly? Their family and my family are both Korean.</p>

<p>I’m really not sure how that end of admissions works :)</p>

<p>Okay; thanks! :)</p>
