<p>Hello,</p>
<p>I was accepted to UC Berkeley yesterday and was also invited to the Overnight Host Program.
I'm thinking about going on the Cal Day weekend option, April 11-12.
Does anybody know if we're able to attend the Cal Day festivities before heading home by airplane?</p>
<p>Are any of you going?</p>
<p>DEFINITELY go to this. I wasn't sure about going to Cal until I spent the weekend there thanks to the OHP and had the best weekend of my high school years.</p>
<p>NOTE: YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO ANY OF THE STUPID PROGRAMS THEY WANT YOU TO DO. Remember this. Also, you don't have to stay with the person they assign you to. If you have friends at Berkeley, try and crash with them and go to parties/have a good time. </p>
<p>This isn't high school anymore, you're not gonna get in trouble for not doing something. What are they gonna do, rescind your acceptance? Make you pay for your flight? Sign up for the overnight host program, and have a great time!</p>
<p>i signed up for the april 11th one, before cal day.</p>
<p>i signed up for that one too, it's convenient lol</p>
<p>Does anyone know if Cal day interferes with the regular OHP stuff?</p>
<p>I was hoping Cal Day would be part of the OHP.</p>
<p>Is there like a schedule of events on the site somewhere?
All I see is a FAQ, RSVP, etc.</p>
<p>Oh and slicmlic, that's certainly encouraging!</p>
<p>Hmmm I wonder if I should host. They offered me $20. :D</p>
<p>Haha, it says that OHP attendees will stay with a "volunteer" host.
Guess $20 isn't bad!</p>
<p>Yep, I'm thinking of going on the 11th as well - my Spring Break, too :)</p>
<p>I hope to go the 10-11th. Indian, where do ya live?</p>
<p>Ummm. That was last year. I’m going to be hosting this year, actually</p>
<p>hey Indian do you know how we are suppose to get to UCB after we arrive at the airport? will there be a guide for us or do we have to find our own way there?</p>
<p>I heard OHP cost money this year… is that true?
last year I went it was completely free. plane ticket + food/live + transportation</p>
<p>Last year i went on same weekend as cal day. they did not give us enough time for cal day… i didn’t get any free stuff lol</p>
<p>demoz: I drove up there, so I don’t really know if they’ll be a guide.
If you fly to Oakland Intl., then take the Airbart shuttle ($3) to the BART station and get on the Richmond train ($3.30), getting off at the Downtown Berkeley Station. Then, walk up to campus.</p>
<p>hmm there was a guide last year… they picked us (like 3 people from my school + other ohp students on same flight) from the airport and paid for airbart and bart roundtrip</p>
<p>Dang it! I didnt get an email :(</p>
<p>But yeah isnt the overnight host program for the regents and chancelor scholars??</p>
<p>UGH!
i got the confirmation email and it’s for the 10th and 11th.
when i signed up for the 17th and 18th. >.<
i hope the can change it, i already booked my plane ticket! lol</p>
<p>Must one submit their SIR before receiving an invitation to the OHP?</p>
<p>^
no. if that’s the case… then there would be no point in OHP</p>
<p>can anyone do the OHP?</p>
