I thought I’d share my myriad thoughts about Admit Weekend, an annual Stanford event put on for prospective freshman (ProFros). For a while yesterday I thought this year’s event would be a repeat of last year’s, with abnormally dreary weather coinciding perfectly with the one weekend Stanford wants to look good to outsiders. However, the sun has emerged, and hopefully will stay out for the next few days.

My roommate and I are signed up to be RoHos (Room hosts), which basically means that we volunteered to host a ProFro for Admit Weekend. We won’t be getting any compensation from the university, except for that warm fuzzy feeling that will come from our best efforts to convince our ProFros to attend Stanford.

Time flies, and I remember my own Admit Weekend experience as if it were yesterday. I’ll stop with the cliches now. But seriously, I hope that my peers will also remember their experiences as wide-eyed freshmen, and treat the ProFros not as subordinates, but equals.

On that note, if anyone reading this happens to be a ProFro, feel free to leave a comment or ask a question. I’ll be in FroSoCo (Freshman-Sophomore College) if you’d like to meet sometime.
