Thank you for your interest in our fall fly-in programs, Penn in Focus (PIF) and the Penn Early Exploration Program (PEEP) . PIF and PEEP 2020 will be held virtually this year and will include a mix of live and pre-recorded sessions to ensure students are able to participate across a variety of time zones. The PIF live sessions will be held on Thursday, September 17th and Saturday, September 19th, with additional optional programs throughout the month of September and October. PIF offers academically high-achieving high school seniors who wish to explore and celebrate cultural communities that have been historically underrepresented at highly selective universities to explore Penn’s Ivy League, world-class academic resources and vibrant extracurricular life. They'll be exposed to the extensive cultural engagement opportunities infused throughout the intellectual and social experience at Penn. The PEEP live sessions will be held on Saturday, October 10th and Monday, October12th, with additional optional programs throughout the month of September and October. PEEP offers academically high-achieving high school seniors from low-income or first-generation college backgrounds the opportunity to gain first-hand experience with the academic and social life at the University of Pennsylvania, an Ivy League university located in Philadelphia, PA. PEEP will include significant content that may be of particular interest to students from historically underrepresented groups, including African-American, Latino, Native American, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian. In this selective program, we are specifically seeking academically high achieving high school seniors from low-income or first generation college backgrounds.
