Wondering if anyone has any experience with Pre-orientation or SOAR programs? Are they worth the money?
You may want to search for “SOAR” in this WashU forum. There are a number of older messages which say that you will not miss anything by not attending SOAR.
Pre-Orientation allows you to move into the dorms earlier, although I personally don’t think paying the extra money is particularly useful.
I didn’t go to either and according to my friends, they didn’t do much if that helps.
