Has anyone else been called or emailed about this? Who is planning on attending? Is there a reason why certain people are invited to this?
It’s mainly for URM’s. The point is to try and increase the URM population on campus. I got the invite as well 
@baileeh1 I don’t think I’m considered URM though (at least in the college perspective). I’m Asian!
@Davallia Well it’s only mainly for URM’s. They sprinkle other applicants that they are really interested in to the mix too. However, if on your application you specified a certain ethnicity of Asian you could be considered a URM depending on what you are/what you put.
@Davallia Did you perhaps get in with a major in engineering? They are trying to reach out to engineering students as well.
I also got this - does anyone know if you go by yourself or with parents? If I go I would be flying; will there be someone to pick me up at the airport?
My roommate last year did it and he said it was a great experience and a great way to get familiar with the school
@ghravel Bus or air transportation can be provided (possibly at no cost) from San Francisco, LA, Inland Empire, Riverside, San Diego, and possibly other counties. You can indicate pickup at the airport on your application. Your parents and family can come but they would have to arrange their own transportation, accommodation, and meals for the three days of the program.
@baileeh1 I actually didn’t apply for the overnight program as I got into another school! Sorry!
