On-Campus Interviews
Put Your Personality Into Your Application ... Literally
Paper applications are two-dimensional. On-campus interviews allow you the opportunity to make your application three-dimensional. Interviews are offered in the summer for rising high school seniors and in the fall for current high school seniors.
Summer interviews are offered June 25 - August 17 on weekdays (with the exception of July 4 when the College will be closed). Fall interviews are offered early September through mid-November on weekday afternoons and select Saturday mornings (interview registration goes live September 1). All students who wish to interview and to apply Early Decision should interview prior to the November 1 application deadline.
The interview is an evaluative and optional component to the application. Choosing not to pursue a campus interview will not put any student at a disadvantage in the application process.
Please note: if you intend to participate in both an on-campus interview and campus tour, we suggest you sign up for an interview at 9:00am, 12:00pm, 1:00pm or 2:00pm. These times do not conflict with the information session and tour. Students planning to tour campus can also interview at 10:00am and 4:00pm but will miss the information session or part of the tour. Please register separately for a campus tour (you can register for both events during the same registration session).
Register for an on-campus interview
Interviews are assigned on a first-come, first-serve basis. We do not keep a waitlist for interview appointments. As cancellations arise, previously filled appointments will become available for registration so we encourage students to check the registration site frequently.
"I believe this opportunity allowed me to articulate qualities about myself that a paper application just cannot convey. This experience really allowed me to add something substantive to my application and allowed me to get a more intimate feel for the College. The interviewer answered all of my questions and really allowed me to see a more personal side of William & Mary!" --Summer Interviewee
"Thank you very much for offering me the opportunity to interview. I feel like I really made a contribution to my application. Meeting with a current student was an added bonus. I feel like I learned so much about this university and its students. The whole experience was superb!" --Summer Interviewee
