Northeast colleges offering admissions interviews

I'm considering applying to colleges in the Northeast and I'm curious about which ones offer interviews as part of the admissions process. Are there any that have on-campus interview opportunities?

Absolutely, many schools in the Northeast offer the opportunity for admissions interviews. Generally, these can be conducted by alumni living in your local area, current students, or admissions staff, and they can take place either in person on campus or remotely.

For instance, Brown University offers optional alumni interviews. The interviews can be conducted in person if an alumni volunteer is available in your area. If not, the interview can take place over the web or by phone.

Similarly, Dartmouth College offers optional interviews typically conducted by alumni or current students either in person or virtually, depending on the availability of interviewers in your area.

Yale University offers optional interviews as well. They are typically conducted by Yale alumni.

University of Pennsylvania also offers optional interviews conducted by trained alumni interviewers. These are based on availability and not guaranteed.

Boston College, on the other hand, offers on-campus interviews which are conducted by an Admissions Counselor. These are non-evaluative, meaning they don't factor into admissions decisions.

As the interview process may vary from one institution to another, with some offering on-campus interviews, and others may offering virtual or alumni interviews, it is advisable to check the individual school's admissions page for the most accurate and up-to-date information.

Also, remember to prepare well for the interviews with thoughtful questions about the institution and thoughtful reflections on your experiences and future goals. It's a valuable opportunity to have a one-on-one conversation about the college and your application. Best of luck in your applications!
