So I e-mailed Swarthmore asking for a Discovery Weekend app, and this is their response...
"Dear Amir,
Thank you for your message! Unfortunately, while we are very glad to hear that you are interested in the Discovery Weekend program, we regret to say that we are unable to extend the invitation to international applicants. We hope the response doesn't prove too disappointing, as we do sincerely value your consideration (really!) and the fact that you took the time to contact us. If you have any other questions that might occur in the near or far future, please do let us know and thank you again.
Warmly,
Swarthmore Admissions"
=(. Everyone gets to reunite but me, hrrmph.

Amir! My heart goes out to you... :( I want nothing but to see your crab pen again, hear your passionate voice, touch your emo jacket...oh my.
why is it impossible to find anything about this on the swarthmore website? all that came up when i googled it was college confidential posts. weird. so, umm...are you allowed to apply to this thing if you're white? i guess i could just tell them about how race is a social construct...
i think technically it's a recruitment for minority students, but on the application where you check off your race, it says "optional" in parenthesis so... =) you could just apply regardless.
oh and they don't publish any information online, but if you want an app email ryan keaton at discover@swarthmore.edu
apparently they take care of everything: shuttles, flights, etc, all you do is show up. ronald and jenny and elexis are applying! and so should everyone =) and amir, =(
emma, you should write about how whiteness is an ethnicity too...they'll realize how smart you are and decide to let you come if for nothing else than to avoid being sued/attacked lol
i dunno about this weekend...i'll talk to my parents
