Thank you!!!!!!! This will help me with all the colleges I’m interested in!!!
Thanks a lot.
I applied to Cornell’s diversity program and got accepted!
It wasn’t on this list and the deadline has passed, so I recommend adding it to the list for next year.
CORNELL DHW program!
Alexis. Could you get me info on the weekend so I can use it next year. I can’t find it on the Cornell site…Thanks.
I forgot to say that this program is for engineering.
It was great. I loved it.
The program is called Cornell Diversity Hosting Weekend
From what I heard, those that went to Cornell and had travel grants went at no cost. Everything was also covered by Cornell.
Can you get me info as I wrote to them and they never replied…Dates, contact info…follow format of my entries.
Can you get me info that follows my format as I emailed them and never got a response.
Great list. Figures that the elite schools would be the ones who can afford to do this. I’d love to receive a breakdown of this list by application deadline, if you have such a document.
Many thanks for creating and publishing this list.
Thanks to your help Ms. Joseph, we have compiled a grand database of Open Houses and Diversity Programs for more than 60 colleges nationwide!

Can you check my current list and see if I’m missing any programs explicitly for diverse students.
Thank you…this is a wonderful resource! I will use it again next year!
