New York State Scholars Program...Is anyone going?

<p>Son just received this invite in the mail. Obviously for prospective Cornell students from NY only. Just wondering if anyone knows if this is a worthwhile visit.</p>

<p>We went last year and it was fun...they had entertainment and several discussions along with a tour... It didn't give us the feel that Cornell Days did but it was worth the trip.</p>

<p>yeah, I got that in the mail too... I'm not sure if I'm going yet though.</p>

<p>Thank you for your replies. Juniormom, what exactly are "Cornell Days"?</p>

<p>I'm going, from Syracuse. It's about an hour and a half?</p>

<p>I know I'm a NY State Scholar, so hopefully I'll be getting the invite soon!</p>

<p>What is the New York State Scholars Program?</p>

<p>I did it last year.. it was an information session with tours and the opportunity to speak with admissions counselors. I had already visited before so this wasn't incredibly helpful, but it may help show your interest in the school. I think if you have not visited yet, it is definately worth the trip.</p>
