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 not planning to visit campus in person or for those that were unable to schedule an on-campus interview during their visit.
Note: interview slots are limited.

91´«Ã½ Interviews

OCT 1 (senior year) – JAN 15 (senior year)
91´«Ã½ Admissions Program (AAP) volunteers are enthusiastic W&L alumni who conduct interviews and can answer your questions about Washington and Lee and the admissions process. 91´«Ã½ interviews may be conducted in person (in your local area, if possible) or virtually, and are open only to 91´«Ã½ residing in the United States.

International Group Chats

JUL 23 (senior year) - NOV 30 (senior year)
