We are offering virtual and in-person interviews for all first-year applicants with an entry term of Fall 2025 who attend high school in the United States. Interviews are 20-30 minute conversations with a current student (Admissions Fellow). After the conversation, the interviewer will submit a summary report to be included in your application file. 

Why should you interview with us? While your application gives us a lot of information, a face-to-face conversation helps us learn more about you as an individual and allows you to learn more about Swarthmore. Interviews are optional. Applicants who choose not to interview are not at a disadvantage, and Swarthmore does not consider ‘demonstrated interest’ in our application review process. If students do choose to interview, all interview formats (fellow, alum, on-campus, or virtual) are viewed the same and students should select the option that best fits their needs.

When registering, please ensure you are selecting the correct interview format (in-person versus virtual). Students should only request one type of interview and interviews are only available to students who attend high school in the United States. 

Please note, if you do not see any availability on a certain date, the slots are either booked or not available.
