University of Delaware- ON Site Interviews
Current high school seniors may now schedule an on-campus interview with
the Office of Undergraduate Admissions at the University of Delaware. On-
campus interviews will begin during weekdays in early September and will
continue until November 20.

Interviews are not a required part of the admissions process, but we
encourage you to meet with our staff and/or UD alumnus if possible. An
interview will help you learn more about UD and help us learn more about
you as a student, a member of your community, and as a potential member of
the University of Delaware community. Interviews will be evaluated by
current upperclassmen, UD alumnus, and professional admissions staff
members, which are read with all of your other application materials.

Please refer to the calendar for available dates and times for on-campus
interviews. All on-campus interviews need to be scheduled in advance of
your visit.

If you have any questions prior to your visit, please call us at (302) 831-8123
