<p>We didn’t get an email either, but we will be there. I wonder if it is because my son already accepted his CP offer, who knows.</p>
<p>Re-Quote:
How do I RSVP for Open House?</p>
<p>As an admitted student, you should have received an email invitation from the Admissions Office for Open House. In this email, there is a video message from your college dean as well as a link to register. Registration must be done through this link by the admitted student. If you need the invitation resent to you, you will need to call the Admissions Office at (805) 756-2311. Their office is open Monday-Friday from 12-5PM.</p>

<p>^We got the email with the video message from the college dean, nothing is in there about Open House or rsvp’ing. I have checked one of several emails we have received, nada, I just don’t think there is any link out there at this time, even though twitter and this quote mentions it. Obviously anyone can show up, but it seems they sorta want to know if you are coming, just don’t have a link to do so.</p>
<p>Well anyone can show up to Saturday’s events, but Friday is specifically for admitted students correct? I’m guessing that is the point of RSVP, so that they have a list of admitted students that they will let into Friday’s events.</p>
<p>We will be heading up to Cal Poly for Admitted Student Day (which is on a Friday). Our plan is to drive up from San Diego after school on Thursday and spend the night at a hotel that night. My question for those of you who have gone before is how important is Saturday and Sunday?- if we can only be there on Friday, will my son be missing out? Thanks so much, we would like to make hotel reservations!</p>
<p>Also, is the student mixer on Friday night a big deal? Or is the Admitted Student Day over in the evening and the Friday night get together for people staying for the whole weekend? Thank you!</p>
<p>Has anyone received an email invitation yet?</p>
<p>I called the school today and asked about the e-mail and how to RSVP. I was told the e-mail(s) have not been sent out and that it may be as much as a week or more before the send it out. Curious business.</p>
<p>This is from an email I received this morning:</p>
<p>"Thank you for contacting our office.</p>
<p>At this time, the invitations for Cal Poly’s Open House event have not been sent out yet. Please continue to check your e-mail for updates from Cal Poly.</p>
<p>Thank you</p>

<p>They may be waiting to send out invites until admission decisions are complete. There are still many programs and decisions pending.</p>
<p>Sorta confused about this invite thing. It’a an Open House, don’t need an invite to attend. If you are in, go. If you are just curious, go. Don’t need your name on a list…there are so many people the professors and students talk to that day.</p>
<p>Invitations should be out, my son received his yesterday. The video with the horse seems a little cheesy, but the openhouse looks awesome from the agenda they posted</p>
<p>^I’ve noticed that a lot of the videos they send out seem to be somewhat cheesy, haha.</p>
<p>I received an invitation yesterday as well. I’m really, really disappointed I can’t go though.</p>
<p>Has anyone here or their students attended the Friday Night Invite in years Past?</p>
<p>Here is the description: “All admitted students are invited to participate in Friday Nite Invite from 7:30 p…m - 10 p.m. on April 19th in the University Union where you can meet soon-to-be classmates and become acquainted with University Union facilities. Enjoy free pizza, bowling, billiards, crafts, poker, live DJ and more!”</p>
<p>This sounds like a lot of fun. This may be a stupid question, but since 99% of the “admitted students” don’t know anyone at the school yet, I am just wondering how they pull this off and get the prospective students to integrate. I am guessing that some of the less extroverted may not be interested in this event.</p>
<p>It will be a bit awkward if you don’t know anyone. WOW is the real opportunity to begin making new friends. Friday Night Invite is a chance to do a little people watching, scan your soon to be classmates. If years past are any indication you will likely be pleased with what you see. If you know (Facebook or otherwise) another incoming student it is may be best to arrange a meet up for this event.</p>
<p>Thanks SLO, that’s what I was hoping to avoid, the standing around watching others have fun thing. Not sure how they pull off the bowling, poker, etc. if the admittees don’t know anyone. ???</p>
<p>There is a Facebook page for Cal Poly Class of 2017, join it and read the mail. You may find someone with similar interests, major, home town, etc. Invite them to meet & say hi, then you have someone to play poker with. If you step into it just a bit you will find many kindred souls looking for the opportunity to have a good time and meet some new people.</p>
<p>Awesome, thanks SLO!</p>
<p>Anyone know if it would be worth it to attend only on Saturday?</p>
<p>I’m already admitted as an incoming Freshman. I already attended PolyCultural Weekend and had a small tour around the city and school. Not sure if it’s worth the hotel+gas.</p>
<p>Just check the event calendar to see what is worth it for you.</p>
<p>For us, Friday looks the most interesting because of the tours of the individual colleges and such. So we are driving down from out of state Thursday so my son can check out the college of engineering/computer science stuff on Friday. Saturday looks like they have some good things lined up as well, but I think it is just an individual thing.</p>
<p>How do you hike up the “mountain” with the “CP” painted on? Is it accessible from campus?</p>
