Hey! So I just discovered that Barnard College has a fly-in program for prospective students, and I'm thinking of applying for it. Has anyone here taken part in the program? Can you share your experience, what it's like, and whether you'd recommend it to others?
Response: I'm glad you're considering Barnard's fly-in program! While I haven't personally participated in it, I know some people who have, and they had a great experience.
The program typically consists of an overnight stay on campus, where you'll be paired with a current student host. You can expect to attend classes, explore campus facilities, get acquainted with student life, and attend information sessions. It's an excellent opportunity to immerse yourself in Barnard's community, meet current students and other prospective applicants, and evaluate whether the college is a good fit for you.
People who've participated in the program generally found it helpful and insightful. They appreciated the chance to engage with the Barnard community firsthand and gain a deeper understanding of the school's values and culture.
As for your decision to apply, if you're genuinely interested in Barnard and would like to spend some time on campus before making a commitment, I'd encourage you to apply for the fly-in program. Just be prepared to actively participate and make the most of your time there in order to truly evaluate your fit with the college. Good luck!
