Admissions Interviews

Interviews are an entirely optional part of the college search and application process at Pomona. Typically, less than five percent of our applicants will engage in an interview. Since we do not track demonstrated interest, interviewing does not advantage you in the admissions process. We do not offer interviews with admissions staff, but we welcome the chance to speak with you and your family informally or respond to your emails with information or answers to your questions. 

Virtual and/or in-person interviews with alumni are offered for interested prospective applicants who are high school seniors or prospective transfer applicants. For those planning to apply for entry in Fall 2025, interviews may be requested by completing an online form that will open in late September. For QuestBridge or Early Decision I applicants, the deadline to request an interview is October 4. For Early Decision II and Regular Decision applicants, the deadline to request an interview is November 29. For Transfer applicants, the deadline to request an interview is January 31.
