Anyone know if Wash U pays the travel expenses for second look weekend?

There's probably no reason for me to ask if I have to ask, but

What is this second look weekend?

Curious.

Thanks

it's for acceptees to take a second look at a school. some schools pay for it, but most don't, i think.

I was wondering the same thing... the email doesn't give any details at all, only dates.

last year, they paid the expenses for the mstp second look, and i believe for a special minorities second look weekend. but if you're a regular joe, you're out of luck. they will put you up in olin, though, so you don't have to pay lodging. and food's pretty much taken care of. so i guess it's just airfare you have to pay for yourself.

Oh I hope all schools pay for the food at these things - I haven't had a free med school meal in ages!

Oh yeah, and how long are these second looks? An afternoon? 2 days?
