Questions people ask before applying.
Cost, pace, tools, credentials, LinkedIn, and what happens after the capstone.
Start with the practical stuff.
Applications and review
How do I know my application was received, and when will I hear back?
After submitting, your portal receipt and application status page are the source of truth. Pending or under review means your application is in the queue. Application evaluation can take up to 7 business days, and no resubmission is needed while review is pending. If you contact support, include your application ID.
Is acceptance competitive, or does everyone get in?
FlyRank is broad-access, not a prestige-screened hiring funnel. The application exists to confirm basic eligibility, track fit, cohort capacity, and that you understand the unpaid, self-paced terms. Some cohorts may batch-approve eligible applicants, but applications can still be waitlisted, rejected, or blocked when a cohort or track is unavailable.
I was accepted. What should I do next?
Wait for the cohort portal to open, then follow the dashboard and onboarding checklist. Before the start date, review your application receipt, LinkedIn task, FAQ or knowledgebase, and any announcements in the portal.
Why can't I submit my application even though I filled every field?
Check the highlighted fields, LinkedIn profile URL format, country, city, timezone, motivation length, and required acknowledgements. If the form still fails, contact support from the application page and include your browser, track, and the message that appeared.
Can I edit my application after submitting?
Pending or waitlisted applicants can edit supported details from the application receipt. Track, LinkedIn URL, timezone, and source are self-service. For motivation or essay changes, location corrections, withdrawal, or anything after a decision, contact support with your application ID.
Can I change tracks or apply to more than one track?
Choose one track per application and intake. If your application is pending or waitlisted, you can switch to an active track that is accepting applications from the application receipt. Approved interns can request a track change, but it is not guaranteed and depends on cohort state, track availability, and whether onboarding or assignments have already started. Avoid duplicate applications unless support asks you to submit another one.
Can I defer to another cohort?
Deferrals are handled case by case. Approved interns should submit a cohort deferral request with the reason, target cohort, and whether they have already started onboarding or assignments.
Do capstones include a real client, user testers, or example projects?
Tracks use practical, client-style portfolio briefs, but FlyRank does not promise a supplied client, paid client project, or guaranteed user-interview pool. Track pages show capstone directions. You can use ethical public research, peer or community feedback, or your own network to strengthen the work.
How do I withdraw or delete my application/account?
Submit an account or privacy request. Withdrawal closes the application; account deletion is handled under the privacy policy and may retain limited records needed for security, legal, or credential-verification reasons.
Is this a new or early program?
Yes. This is an early-stage internship program, so treat it like a beta. The value is practical portfolio work, reviewed completion proof, community access where available, and a career signal, not a long alumni track record or guaranteed outcomes.
