Interviews are an important part of Hampshire's admission process, and are strongly recommended for prospective students. 

An interview is an opportunity to ask questions about specific areas of academic and social life, and also provides a chance for students to describe experiences or qualities they have that make them well-suited to Hampshire's distinctive program, or to explain circumstances that might affect the review of the application.

Interviews are conducted on campus by members of the admissions counseling staff and highly-trained, advanced-level students. Interviews are also conducted off campus by admissions counselors and trained alum volunteers. All interviews "count" the same in the application process.

On-Campus Interviews
Interviews are available on weekdays and most Saturdays in the admissions office. To request an interview, please call the admissions office. On-campus interviews should be completed by the application deadline for the plan you use. For first-year students applying under the Regular Decision plan, you may interview through the end of January, 2012.

Off-Campus Interviews
Off-campus interviews are ordinarily conducted by trained volunteer Hampshire graduates. To request an off-campus interview, complete the off-campus interview request form. Please note that you must request an interview by the stated application deadline for the plan you use. The admissions office will do its best to locate a Hampshire graduate in your area for you to contact for an interview. Please request an interview with a Hampshire graduate only if you are not interviewing with a traveling admissions counselor or planning to interview during a campus visit. Please allow at least five business days before expecting our response regarding availability in your area.
