How do I request a Lehigh University alumni interview?

I'm wondering about the process to request an alumni interview with Lehigh University. Is it something I need to initiate, or do they contact us?

At Lehigh University, the process for alumni interviews begins with the identification of interested students. The Admissions Office at Lehigh identifies potential students based on their application and sends these students invitations for an optional alumni interview.

So, the onus of initiating the interview process falls on the university, not the student. You don't have to worry about proactively reaching out to request an interview. If they believe an interview will complement your application, you'll receive an invitation to participate in one.

After receiving the invitation, you should reply promptly if you wish to participate. From there, they will help you connect with an available alumnus in your area or conduct the interview virtually. Remember, the interview is an excellent opportunity for the college to learn more about you beyond your paper application and for you to learn more about the college from an insider's perspective.

The fact that Lehigh offers interviews is a good thing! It means they have a holistic approach to their application review process. They want to know you as a person beyond just your grades and test scores. But remember, the interviews are just a piece of the puzzle and not having an interview doesn't necessarily harm your chances. Good luck!
