People don't join the Hamilton community for just four years; they belong for a lifetime. For many students, membership in that enduring community begins with the personal interview. Furthermore, because the admission committee works hard to ensure "fit" with Hamilton when determining admission decisions, personal interviews are strongly encouraged. An interview will not only provide us with a strong sense of your personal strengths and interests that may not be obvious in an application, it will also give you a chance to ask questions and learn more about Hamilton in a personal setting.
Personal interviews are conducted by admission officers or Hamilton seniors who are carefully selected and trained for this purpose. On-campus interviews are available as follows:
To schedule an interview, please call the Admission Office at (800) 843-2655. Because our interviews are often booked weeks in advance, we encourage you to allow adequate lead time in arranging for your visit. On-campus interviews for Fall 2012 applicants are available until January 31 and may be scheduled by calling the Admission Office.
If you cannot visit campus for an interview, we would be happy to arrange for an off-campus interview with an alumni representative during the fall of your senior year. Requests will be taken, starting September 1st, via this web page. In order to ensure that your off-campus interview will be included with the review of your application, please keep the following deadlines in mind:
Application Plan: Request Interview:
Early Decision Round I September 1 – November 1
Early Decision Round II September 1 - December 16
Regular Decision September 1 - December 16
