I'm considering visiting Lehigh soon. Does anyone know if they offer on-campus interviews and if it's better to do them instead of virtual ones?
Yes, Lehigh University does offer on-campus interviews for prospective students. Both on-campus and virtual interviews are valued the same in the admissions process and both are a great way to demonstrate your interest in the school.
The choice between an on-campus or virtual interview often comes down to what is most convenient for the student. If you're planning to visit campus anyway, it could be beneficial to schedule an on-campus interview. It gives you the opportunity to experience the campus atmosphere in person, which can subsequently provide more personalized insight and specificity in your application and interview responses.
On the other hand, if travel is a concern, a virtual interview offers the same opportunity to interact and ask questions, but without the time and expense of travel. It's totally fine if you prefer convenience or are unable to travel to campus.
In either option, remember that the interview is a chance for you to ask questions as well. Prepare some thoughtful questions about aspects of Lehigh University you're genuinely curious about. This could relate to student life, specific academic programs, clubs, and so on. Good luck with your visit and interview!
