Interviews
Although not required for admission, the alumni interview can be a valuable source for learning more about the University.
Alumni Interviews
Personal interviews are available through our Alumni Secondary School Committee (SSC) volunteers, who will contact first-year candidates after they have applied to Penn. Individual on-campus interviews are not available as requests vastly exceed our ability to meet this need. In addition, we encourage you to rely upon your application for admission as a forum for presenting the many unique aspects of your candidacy.SSC interviews for Early Decision candidates are conducted between November l and December 1, SSC interviews for Regular Decision candidates are offered in January and February.
Alumni interviews are offered only in regions with active Secondary School Committees. Candidates who have questions and concerns about the SSC interview may contact:
