College Greenlight - Fly-In Programs
Many institutions will host events focused on culture, diversity, and targeted academic or extracurricular interests for prospective students to explore those aspects of campus life at a particular university. These weekend or multi-day programs, often known as ‘fly-in programs,’ allow students to experience campus more intimately, so they can get to know the students and faculty who bring the college to life. For prospective students, fly-in visit programs typically occur in the spring of junior year or fall of senior year before students have submitted their college applications. There are also fly-in and visit programs created to help admitted students decide where to enroll in the spring of senior year.
The 2024 CMC Fall Preview Fly In program application is now open!
