Maybe if OP’s kid is URM but otherwise no.

Yeah that's not happening unless URM.

Some schools will fly out merit scholarship finalists or first gen as well.

some LACs struggling with diversity #s, fly out multiracial/biracial kids (even if not URM).....

That doesn’t really have to do with struggling, nor is it relegated to LACs. Fly in programs are done by universities and lacs to outreach to first gen, low income students who likely wouldn’t have applied without getting a tour of campus. Many could stop their fly ins to day and it’d make a small dent in their applications from students of color.

I would agree with previous posters. ED is for the rich for the top schools. If you don’t have enough in the bank, your unicorn of an application doesn’t matter.
