Hi there everyone!

I am a freshman DiScho who is going to be involved in the weekend this year. Congrats to everyone invited and just a little tidbit that might put some minds at ease: everyone single one of you that attends the weekend (barring aby disciplinary issues) will get a minimum of a scholarship that covers tuition. Definitely still do your best in the interview, discussion, and general interactions with the selection committee but don’t be too stressed out.

I know some of you have obviously been accepted into great schools, but definitely consider the benefits of being a big fish in a big pond. At UD DiSchos get a lot of priority and opportunities that would be difficult to get elsewhere - I personally chose UD over an Ivy League school due to this scholarship and the benefits that come with it. Just come in with an open mind and ready to have fun… and also talk a lot about yourself, your goals, and your interests.

Also remember to bring a nice outfit for a formal dinner and a business casual outfit for interviews!

I’ll be in Redding hosting on Thursday, talking to you guys in the lounge Friday, and also at the dinner Friday. Feel free to ask me any questions here over the next couple days or over the weekend. Can’t wait to meet you all!
