Which schools sponsor admitted student visits?
I haven't had a chance to visit a lot of the schools that I'm applying to, and I know that some (Stanford, for example) will subsidize admitted student travel. Does anyone know of any other schools that will pay for your visit (excluding, maybe, cases where they only pay for scholarship finalists)?
Thanks!
Thanks!

Duke gave me $250, which they offered to every admit, afaik
Columbia gave me $90 when I requested it and gave provided accommodations with a student so I didn't have to pay for hotel
UVa didn't give me cash but also gave me accommodations
I believe my friend got money from NYU, but I didn't request any, so I don't know firsthand
Michigan offered to let me stay with a student, but I didn't end up visiting at all

This generally applies for admitted students going specifically to the admitted students weekend. I know that Duke would reimburse you only if you fly within a very confined period (i.e. they don't want you vacationing there/looking at other schools in the area) for that particular weekend. If you went any other weekend, no dice.

Pacific McGeorge paid my plane flight and rental car fees to visit during one of their Legal Scholar Days (you are generally top 1/3 of their admit pool to get an invite, I think). None of the other schools I got into offered to help pay for any of my flight expenses, unfortunately. Top-ranked schools might be different, though.

Wow, I would totally send in an app for a free trip except it's located in Sacramento...Pacific McGeorge paid my plane flight and rental car fees to visit during one of their Legal Scholar Days (you are generally top 1/3 of their admit pool to get an invite, I think).

Re: Which schools sponsor admitted student visits?
Penn will also cover some expenses: "within 150 miles of Penn Law - up to $100; 150 miles or more - up to $250. If you are unable to secure a plane ticket for under $250 - Penn will pay 50% of the cost of the ticket above $250." This is from an email I received from them.
Seriously? What are you waiting for?
Now there's a charge.
