Interviews
Since many international 91传媒 are coming from educational systems that are different from that of the U.S., we find it valuable to view an unscripted interview in which each applicant may discuss their unique background and goals.
Virtual interviews with Admissions Office staff and alumni interviews are not available for international 91传媒 living abroad. However, international applicants may participate in an interview conducted by a third-party provider such as InitialView, Duolingo, or Vericant. These companies conduct and record the interview so it can be reviewed later by our office. , , or are not able to answer questions about W&L, so please direct any questions about W&L to admissions@wlu.edu.
