COVID-19 versus MIT Campus Preview Weekend 2020

Correct…no CPW this year. It’s been a bad news week for DS. First Regeneron STS week canceled and now CPW. We’re trying to decide whether it’s worth a separate overnight visit but the MIT admitted parents board is saying many cases of CVD in Boston so not sure how we’ll proceed.

which board?

which parent board?

I know it’s disappointing for both sides, the kids on campus and the kids who planned to come. This was the big fun my kid enjoyed while a student and when a prefrosh. With STS canceled, how does it look for ISEF? Florida State Science & Eng Fair was canceled so surely other states will follow. How devastating to the kids who have devoted their last year to their projects.

I just cancelled my plans to go to ISEF as part of this. Not sure what their overall situation will be.

What that’s awful. I always saw CPW as something so special to MIT and I can’t imagine it skipping a generation. I understand why they made the decision, but it still sucks for everyone who was excited to visit campus.

It’s going to be sad but we’re going to work with admits and current students to do the coolest stuff we can
