Campus Tours and Information Sessions

Campus Tours
Student-guided campus tours are available to everyone. They generally last one hour. An appointment is not required, but we suggest that you call ahead of time to make sure tours are available on the day you plan to visit.

Campus Tour Schedule:
Monday – Friday
: Year-round. See above schedule for tour times.

The Admission Office is open most Saturdays in the fall (the Saturday after Labor Day through mid December) and spring (April through mid May). The Office is closed on Saturdays in January, February, March, June, July, and August.

Information Sessions
An appointment is not necessary, but you should plan to arrive in the Board of Admission lobby in Weaver House about 10 minutes before the session begins. We encourage you to attend an information session before taking a tour. Please note that the 9 am and 1 pm tours overlap with the information sessions held at those times.

Information Session Schedule:
Monday – Friday: April, June, July, August, October: 9 am and 1 pm.
Select Saturdays in September, October, November at 9 am. See detailed schedule above.

Interview Information
A personal interview is not a required part of Wellesley's application process for first-year applicants; however, we do strongly recommend it. An interview is required for transfer, accelerating, Davis Scholar, and postbaccalaureate candidates.

On-Campus Interviews
Monday - Friday: 9 a.m. - 3 p.m.
Saturday (fall): 9 a.m. - noon

Please call or email us with your travel plans and interview availability two weeks before your visit. Interviews are offered on a first-come, first-served basis. Because the College is closed at various times during the winter holidays, we encourage seniors who are requesting interview times in December to make arrangements by December 1.

Phone: 781-283-2270; Fax: 781-283-3678

Off-Campus Interviews
If you cannot easily visit the campus, we will arrange for an interview with an alumna interviewer near your hometown. Please complete the off-campus interview form.
