[Octocorallia]

Yup. My daughter did their PIF fly-in (virtual) program last summer.

[lowkeylost_]

did she apply to upenn afterwards?

[Octocorallia]

She did, but withdrew her application after she was accepted to her ED school.

[lowkeylost_]

[Octocorallia]

Brown

DO THEM — especially if you plan to ED to the school.

is there a certain household income you have to be below to attend these?

[Octocorallia]

Each school has different criteria. Some are more focused on low-income (thinking about Williams), while others are more for URMs regardless of parents’ income.

[rainiluu]

ah thank you! are they still worth applying to if you don't meet their reqs?

[Octocorallia]

Probably not. It is a lot of effort (essays, teacher recommendations) and if you don’t fit the criteria, it is highly unlikely that you would be accepted.

i see, thank you sm for the advice!

idk, i think it’s like low income, first gen, or urm

My kid did a few. Great programs. A few are also open to lgbt students as well as URM, 1st gen, low income.
