You’d like to know more about Wellesley you say? Great! We’d love to give you more information.
Interview
“Interview” sounds so formal. This is more of a conversation—a chance for you to talk to an interesting, knowledgeable person about your future.
We can talk—near your hometown (thanks to our alumnae network) 😊, or through the magic of a video conferencing app. Applicants may have only one interview.
📅 To start the interview process, click the button below to request an off-campus interview with an alumna near your hometown (if one is available). Otherwise, we’ll coordinate a virtual interview.
What should I expect?
You’ll be interviewing off campus (or virtually!) with a trained alumnae volunteer. You’ll have a conversation with a smart, engaged person who wants to know more about you. We’ll talk about what excites you, what you’re most looking forward to in college, how you like to learn, what you do for fun, and how Wellesley might match your goals and interests. We won’t read from a script, we don’t have a formal list of questions, and we’re not looking for “right” answers. This is basically a getting-to-know-you session: You’re getting to know Wellesley, and we’re getting to know you.

On the Road
Every fall and spring, Wellesley’s admission counselors travel across the country visiting high schools, attending college fairs, and hosting informational meetings for you and your parents.
In some areas, our terrific alumnae volunteers—as representatives of our office—attend fairs and host events as well. This is a great opportunity to meet an admission counselor or chat with an alumna about her experiences at Wellesley.
