Do US schools invite international students to open houses too?

By "international" I mean foreign residents who are currently outside of the US.

Yes, though what financial support they offer to cover transport costs varies by institution.

Does anyone know when UW-Seattle's open house is? I was accepted and received an information packet, but there was no mention of a visiting weekend (if there is one).

It seems common that schools send out acceptances before the open house is planned. One of the professors at New Mexico sent an email a few weeks after acceptance saying that they almost had the open house prepared and USC still hadn't said anything about planning an open house until I inquired about visiting (since I live nearby).

When were you accepted? They sent an email to me on Feb 3rd about an open house weekend March 5-7. You may want to send an email asking about it if you haven't received that, as they said they had limited spots. They will still reimburse for other dates though.

I was accepted on January 22nd. Guess I'll send that email, then.

Can the original poster list all of the dates in the first post so we don't have to scroll down so much? Please?

Edit: Thanks!

Mark Trodden claims that UPenn sent out open house invitations, yet HEP-TH still hasn't reviewed applications...

Any HEP-EX or astro guy willing to volunteer UPenn's open house dates?

Just got back from Colorado yesterday. Fort Collins is awesome. My other choices are going to have to be damn good fits to keep me from going to Colorado State.
