Zinc- Same here. When son went down for Singer weekend (no Stamps then), he decided to go either way. Back then the U put everyone up in the same hotel, kids and parents schmoozed more with each other and the U staff. They were wined and dined well. They left the weekend with the feeling that the U wants them and the U knows they were in competition with very highly regarded schools.

Son has been involved with Singer Weekend since… tours, interviewing, etc. Friends of ours that was invited and attended a couple of years ago reports things have changed, (Really, really smart girl. Did not get Singer award, and ended up at Johns Hopkins.)

Good luck to all Singer invites, as well as those receiving any merit award. Our son along with us loved the U and highly recommend it to all.
