Does Syracuse University require interviews for admission?

I'm applying to Syracuse University and I'm unsure about whether or not they require interviews. Can anyone confirm if interviews are a part of their admissions process? Any tips on preparing if they are mandatory?

Syracuse University does not require interviews for the general admissions process. Instead, they offer optional informational interviews for interested applicants, which can be a beneficial part of the application process. It's a great opportunity to learn more about the university and to ask any questions you might have.

These interviews are not evaluative and generally do not have a significant impact on your admissions decision. However, they can offer a good chance to show your interest in the university and gain some additional information that can be helpful in crafting your application and making your final decision about attending.

To prepare, I'd suggest researching the university thoroughly and coming up with a few thoughtful questions about your intended major, student life, or anything else you'd like to know. It's also smart to be able to articulate why you're interested in Syracuse specifically, and what you hope to achieve by attending the university. Even though it's not evaluative, treat it like a professional commitment—be on time, dress appropriately (business casual), and be polite and engaged during the conversation.
