<p>That much I don’t know, but my fingers are crossed!</p>
<p>I don’t even know if I can go though, I’m so annoyed of my school’s ‘at most, three excused absences’ rule. I can’t go to this if I want to go to other colleges’ scholarship finalist weekends. Urghhh.</p>
<p>Does anyone know if not going would hurt me in any way? Either way, I’m going to try my hardest to go…</p>
<p>by the way, congrats collegebound_91 :]</p>
<p>wish i got invited :(</p>
<p>Sucks to be an ED student, you don’t get Visions :(</p>
<p>Some ED students are also invited!</p>
<p>Question. I was admitted ED but also invited to Visions? Should I still go even if I have already visited before?</p>
<p>Definitely! It’s meant to get a taste of Rice, even if you’ve already been.</p>
<p>Is Asian considered a URM? Are there any Asians that got invited to this program?</p>
<p>^Noooooo, Asians are not URMs. While I don’t know the answer to your second question, I’m going to take a stab at it and say that probably no Asians are invited.</p>
<p>I’m not totally sure, but I think LGBT (Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgendered) applicants might also be eligible for Vision. I haven’t heard specifically whether or not Rice includes them on their diversity weekend, but I know that at Columbia they did. Because of this, I was one of like two white people at Columbia’s diversity day. I was not invited to Vision last year, but I got a likely letter from Rice. </p>
<p>I guess the point I was trying to make was that it might be possible for LGBT Asian or Caucasian applicants to be invited to Vision. Not sure, though. </p>
<p>Oh, and ED admitees are eligible too.</p>
<p>And I’ll probably be a host for Vision! Yay prospies!!!</p>
<p>how would they know if a student is LGBT? I am but I dont think I made it known on my app. And the accepted ED students are invited because I’m one!</p>
<p>Do you think it will hurt my chances if I can’t make it?</p>
<p>no of course not. You’re basically almost accepted anyway, deciding not to come would not hurt it.</p>
<p>That’s somewhat of a relief though I am dying to go, I’ve tried to make some sort of deal with my school by means of the counselors. Would this visit in any way help my chances for scholarships?</p>
<p>Not going to Vision will not affect acceptance, and I highly highly doubt that not going would affect scholarships. It’s silly that your school has that rule. At mine, you could miss 8 days in a quarter without consequence, given you could keep your grades at a passing level. I think I used all eight the last quarter of senior year visiting colleges.</p>
<p>Yeah, it’s completely bogus since it’s meant to make students stay in school so they can succeed and go to college…yet they won’t let me visit a college I like.</p>
<p>i just got my invitation today…already registered
btw how does the reimbursement work?</p>
<p>i just registered too!!!
