    • Are you interested in attending a top-tier college or university? If so, consider participating in a fly-in program! Fly-ins involve a school flying potential students to campus for tours and events. They aim to recruit a diverse student body, and oftentimes, schools will pay for the plane flight, meals, and overnight expenses. Participating in a fly-in is an excellent way to not only demonstrate interest, but also experience all that a campus has to offer.

      Fly-in programs are competitive— students must apply, and prove that they are academically-qualified to attend. The application process is almost like its own “mini college application.” Admissions representatives use this opportunity to meet students in-person, observing how they work and participate in a high academic profile group setting; it is an extended interview, and can be used as a deciding factor for admissions.

      Fly-ins are an exciting opportunity for students to explore and experience new surroundings; students gain perspective on what being away from family for an extended period of time is like, as well as what being around like-minded, similar high academic profile students from around the world entails. In addition, it can be a reassuring experience for families, who may be hesitant to let their children attend college outside of Texas.

      For additional details on fly-in programs, visit College Greenlight: College Fly-In and Diversity Programs.
