Interviews

No pressure. Interviews aren’t required, but they’re definitely helpful in our process.

We offer them for high school seniors and transfer students, but the dates and options vary. 

(Transfer students, go here for your details.)

High schoolers, read below...

At Oxy

If you’re planning a visit to campus or live within 150 miles of Oxy, we’d like you to interview here with one of our senior fellows or admission officers.

Available Interview Dates:

Weekdays - June 1 to Dec. 20
Saturdays - after Labor Day and before Thanksgiving

Call us to schedule your appointment. (At least two weeks in advance since spaces fill up quickly.)

Off Campus

For those of you further away, we offer interviews with alums and admission officers on the road.

Alumni interviews are offered across the nation and in select international locales. A spot must be requested online between September 4 and November 30.

A very limited number of interviews with admission officers are available in the fall around the country. Check out the cities we typically visit and join our mailing list to be notified when we’re in your area for interviews or high school visits.

All interviews are weighed equally in the admission process so please don't schedule more than one.

Here are some tips we like to share with students before they interview.
