Does Denison University require interviews for admission?

As I'm filling out my application for Denison University, I'm wondering if they require an interview as part of their admissions process. Would doing one improve my chances, or is it not necessary? Any advice would be appreciated!

Denison University does not require interviews for admission. However, they do strongly encourage prospective students to schedule an interview as it provides applicants an opportunity to articulate their interests, ambitions, and fit for Denison in a personalized manner. It's also a wonderful opportunity for you to ask any questions you may have about the campus community or the academic program to a representative of the university, typically an admissions officer.

While it's not explicitly stated, participating in an interview could potentially aid in a holistic evaluation of your application as it offers additional depth to your commitments, aspirations, and readiness for college. So, if you have the time and capacity to do so, scheduling an interview could be beneficial. Remember, these interviews are designed to be more of a conversation than a formal assessment, so do not stress too much over it.

However, it's also very important to remember that not doing an interview won't hinder your application—they are entirely optional. At the end of the day, it ultimately depends on how comfortable you feel about the prospect of an interview, and its potential benefits to your application.
