<p>Whoop Whoop. Just got an invite yesterday to attend over Mardi Gras. </p>

<p>Im so excited!!! Hope to see some of yall there.</p>

2

<p>My D got an invitation yesterday too, she'll be attending.</p>

3

<p>I got an invitation last week (I applied ID), hopefully this invitation means a good thing..</p>

4

<p>what is VISIONS 2007 and who is it for?</p>

5

<p>Have received no invite from Rice for this "Visions" thing. What is it? And does the fact that I don't seem to be on Rice's "we-want-this-student-to-attend" guest list not augur too well for my interim decision (pause for scream)?</p>

6

<p>Is this something that is aimed at URMs?</p>

<p>Here's a link to a description of Vision Weekend from an issue of last year's Thresher:</p>

<p>minority recruitment event. :)</p>

9

<p>I should sign up to host someone.</p>

10

<p>I will be attending this, and I am looking forward to it. About 3 months ago I did something similar (i.e. attended classes, ate at the dining hall, etc). I cant wait.</p>

11

<p>Yeahhh just booked my flight to come to Houston.</p>

12

<p>Its for minorities.. but hey! its a chance for a trip to rice... Rejoice!</p>

13

<p>Did anyone who received the Vision weekend invitation also receive an e-mail saying that the RSVP deadline had been extended to Feb. 11?</p>

14

<p>patsmom, We didn't, but my D RSVP'd early so they may not have seen the need to send her one.</p>

15

<p>Yeah, I received the email, but I decided to go ahead and register on the day the email was sent.</p>

16

<p>I'm going too!
In the email they sent with all the attachments, one of the forms mentions the classes-to-visit list "included in this packet"...I'm assuming we get a hardcopy packet when we arrive? Or did I just not receive the class list in my email?</p>

17

<p>My D didn't get a list of classes either, so she assumes it will be given to students when they arrive. Have fun!</p>

<p>Hey I was just wondering if everyone who got invited to Vision Weekend has already been accepted. I applied regular decision and won't find out Rice's decision until April and was curious why they would pay for a trip down there if they didn't know they were going to accept me.</p>

19

<p>im in the accepted list. Of course I only know about myself</p>

20

<p>I think being invited to Visions is definitely a good sign. They sent out invites to Visions even before sending out acceptances for interim decision kids (like me).</p>
