Does Pomona require interviews for admission? Are they evaluative?
Interviews are encouraged and, for those living in the Southern California region, interviews on campus are expected. The College offers prospective students the opportunity to interview on campus (with an admissions officer or Pomona senior) or with an Alumni Admissions Volunteer in their area if they reside outside of Southern California. Interviews become part of the candidates application and are considered in admissions decisions. The Admission Committee expects that Southern California applicants will visit the College and have an on-campus interview. All applicants are strongly encouraged to take advantage of the opportunity to interview as it allows the Admissions Office to learn more about the applicant. Making interview arrangements well in advance of application program deadlines is also encouraged.
