<p>Have anyone ever been invited to attend a university? If so, what university was it and why? Did they offer you anything if you attended. Did you attend the school?</p>
<p>There are many reasons why I asked this question, one is to find out how often does a situation like this occur.</p>
<p>If the question above does not apply to you, then what university do you plan to attend and why? </p>
<p>Class of 2010</p>
<p>Currently a junior in high school</p>
<p>Do you mean like you’ve been emailed by a school to come or something? If you’ve taken PSATs especially that will start to happen, schools buy the email addresses or addresses of people with a certain range of scores, and start mailing stuff to them. It’s just to get you to look at them</p>
<p>Many of the top 200 or so colleges & universities solicit high school juniors & seniors to apply to that school. Often the solicitation offers free application, essay waivers & an expedited decision. Many include invitations to apply for scholarships & some invite the student to special scholars weekends or diversity visits.
The most serious offers by colleges & universities are made after the student has applied to that school.
Both pre & post application offers may include free transportation, food & housing for one or two days.
A couple of years ago my son received at least six offers, two of which were from Ivies, one from a very elite LAC, & three from large state universities in other areas of the country. He only accepted one offer & only applied to one of the schools (the same univ.)–a large state university to which he was offered a four year (eight semester) out-of-state tuition scholarship, a fellowship with annual cash stipend, honors housing & other perks.</p>
<p>Sorry, but is this a joke? CoolBreeze and then ColdWind responding. hahah</p>
<p>No, only have one user account. Just almost something like a coincidence. </p>

<p>Thanks for the response everyone… although I’ve been inform about universities that actually reach out to a paticular student(s) to attend the school. It’s more comman if the student is playing sports, but high in academics as well.</p>
