@hamiltrash300 Did you check your Olin account? When my kids were invited all the logistical questions were answered in there. It’s been a few years, so things might be different but I can’t believe that you’d get invited without answers to those basic questions.

In our day you needed to get a hotel room. If you were traveling alone you needed to stay at the Babson conference center. Some candidates definitely come without parents. We drove so I don’t know about to and from the airport. Hopefully someone else will chime in and tell you where to look for info.

Regarding what the weekend is like, you’ll just have to wait and see. It’s like nothing you’ve ever experienced. As a parent, I’ve attended 3. Two with candidates and 1 as a volunteer. I can tell you that every CW that I attend makes me love Olin more. My best advice is to relax, be yourself, and really enjoy the experience. You are already an academically strong candidate. This is a chance for both sides to check each other out and see if you for together well.

I can’t wait to hear how it went.
