College Interview with Carnegie Mellon

A college interview allows a prospective student to get a personalized introduction to campus and helps students determine if Carnegie Mellon and our particular majors or programs of interest are a good fit. Throughout the summer and fall, we encourage rising seniors in high school to interview with the Office of Admission.

Interviews last about 20-30 minutes, and then allow time for parents or families to ask questions. We are interested in discussing your senior year courses, extracurricular activities and potential majors interests at Carnegie Mellon. Interviews are considered in the admission process and help the admission committee make better, more informed decisions with determining the freshman class.
