<p>I got an email inviting me and my family to attend the reception for Seattle-area (i.e., Western Washington/Washington State, I assume--I'm not in the "Seattle area") students who've been accepted EA to Stanford. </p>
<p>Anyone else get this invitation? Are there going to be receptions all over the country? Anyone thinking about going?</p>
<p>I kind of want to get a feel for who's considering attending. I'm not really too revved up about receptions and such, personally, but I might change my mind...</p>
<p>I'm pretty sure there are widespread receptions. I went to one for Early and one for Regular (wanted to meet more people); one was about 5 minutes away from my house, and the other was about 15 or 20 minutes away. I think I also went to a send-off party in September. I'm from Southern California, by the way. I thought it was neat to meet some potential classmates: see what they're like, hear what they've done, and find some familiar faces for when I arrived at school :)</p>
<p>Same here! I got an e-mail for the one in Seattle, which is 3 hours away, so I'm probably not going. It's like a 2 hour reception, and probably not worth driving 6 hours round-trip for.</p>
<p>I think later in the year, they have another reception for everyone, and that one's closer to where I live.</p>
