Admissions & Aid

Say “Hey!” ... Officially

Interviews are casual conversations that give you a chance to talk about yourself — your accomplishments, thoughts on the college search, and your interest in W&L. They also provide an opportunity to ask questions and learn more about W&L and our admissions process.

Interviews are not required but are strongly recommended.

W&L offers multiple types of interviews, and 91´«Ã½ may complete only one interview. All interviews are valued equally in our admissions process. The majority of 91´«Ã½ complete their interview with a volunteer member of our 91´«Ã½ Admissions Program.

Interview Options

On-Campus Interviews

MAY 1 (junior year) - OCT 31 (senior year)
We offer interviews with our admissions staff and trained student ambassadors as part of a scheduled campus visit. If you are planning a trip to Lexington for a tour and information session, consider scheduling an interview.
Note: interview slots are limited.

Virtual Interviews

MAY 1 (junior year) - OCT 31 (senior year)
We offer interviews with our admissions staff and trained student ambassadors via Zoom for 91´«Ã½ who are unable to visit campus in person or for those who were unable to schedule an on-campus interview during their visit. These interviews are open only to 91´«Ã½ residing in the U.S. or U.S. citizens abroad.
Note: interview slots are limited.

91´«Ã½ Interviews

OCT 1 (senior year) – JAN 15 (senior year)
