will harvard pay to fly students in to attend admit weekend?

<p>i have heard that they would do this, but i am not sure. the reason i ask is because IF i get into any east coast schools such as those of ivy league caliber, i wouldn't have the money myself to fly so this would really ease any worries. what other schools offer this? thanks</p>

<p>Yale did this for me, and I’m figuring out whether MIT does or not right now.</p>

<p>I know that Cornell does for minorities that get accepted (and not even all of them, just many of them), but I’ve wondered about the other Ivies though.</p>

<p>I’m wondering this too. MIT bought my plane ticket to/from CPW.</p>

<p>Given Harvard’s financial problems, I suspect they won’t pay for your flight unless you’re in dire financial need. Just a guess though.</p>

<p>For any of the weeklong pre-move-in experiences for new freshmen, Harvard will cover the same portion of a student’s expenses as the percentage of their total costs that is covered through need-based aid. It may be the same for Prefrosh Weekend - check with the Aid office.</p>

<p>During my interview, I was told Princeton would (not that I’m getting in, but still, coolio!). As for Harvard and the others…man, I hope. There is no way I’ll be able to visit otherwise. :(</p>

<p>do they do it for international students?</p>

<p>Princeton and Yale had paid for mine but Harvard didn’t…but I do know someone who did get her visit funded by Harvard because of financials.</p>

<p>My interviewer, who is an admissions officer, told me yesterday that Harvard will pay for lower-income accepted students to visit the campus. She didn’t say what the income cut-off is, but I’m assuming “lower-income” means less than $60 000 per year, as per the definition used by the Financial Aid Office. They might make exceptions for wealthier students from far-away places (like Singapore), but you’d have to call them to find out.</p>

<p>Huzzah! I’m under $60,000. =D</p>

<p>oh. thanks. i really hope they do. i really want to see the campus.</p>

<p>when is it this year?</p>

<p>as long as harvard admits me, i’d pay triple to go.</p>

<p>^ i agree with yaile =]</p>
