Admission Interviews

Interviews are not required but are strongly recommended.

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. It also provides an opportunity to ask questions and learn more about W&L and our admissions process.

W&L offers three types of interviews, and 91´«Ã½ may complete only one interview:

  • On-campus interviews
  • Virtual interviews
  • 91´«Ã½ interviews

All interviews are valued equally in our admissions process. A majority of 91´«Ã½ complete their interviews with an alumni interviewer.
