Preview Pitzer brings first-generation and lower-income high school seniors to Claremont for a fully funded 2.5-day visit, with faculty panels, conversations with current students, and one-on-one time with admission counselors. Pitzer covers every cost of the trip, and the visit is for students only — parents don't attend. Participating doesn't affect your admission chances either way, since Pitzer reviews applications holistically.
