Hey everyone, I've heard about the Tufts University fly-in program but I'm not really sure about the details. Can someone give me more information on what it is and how I can apply for it?
Hey there! The Tufts University fly-in program, known as the Voices of Tufts Diversity Experiences, is a program that allows high school seniors from diverse backgrounds to experience Tufts' campus first-hand. The program aims to provide prospective students with a closer look at Tufts' inclusive and vibrant campus, including its academic, social, and cultural environment.
During the program, participants stay on campus with a current Tufts student and have the opportunity to attend classes, engage in discussions, meet faculty, and interact with other Tufts students. The program also includes an application workshop, where participants can gain valuable insights and tips for creating a strong college application.
The Voices program typically provides travel assistance for selected participants, which includes covering the cost of flights and/or other transportation to/from Tufts. However, please be aware that the format of the program might be subject to change due to the ongoing public health situation, so be sure to check the Tufts admissions website for any updates.
The application process typically opens in the summer, around August, and involves filling out an online application form. You'll need to provide basic personal information, academic details, and short answer responses. The deadlines usually fall in late September for the Arts & Sciences and Engineering programs and mid-October for the School of the Museum of Fine Arts program.
When applying, it's essential to make sure you meet the eligibility criteria, which may include factors like your academic achievements, demonstrated leadership, and commitment to promoting diversity and inclusion. Selected students will receive more information on travel arrangements and the program schedule. Check the official site for more information: https://admissions.tufts.edu/voices/voices-home/
Good luck with your application, and I hope you get the chance to experience the Voices of Tufts Diversity Experiences program!
