Admission at Providence College > Apply to Providence College

    Personal Interviews

    Interviews are offered in-person on the campus of Providence College or through a virtual platform.

    Personal interviews are held for those who will be applying in the upcoming admission cycle (for Fall 2026 admission) with a member of the admission staff, our graduate assistant, or a senior admission fellow. Interviews are offered in-person on the campus of Providence College or through a virtual platform. Regardless of what mode a student chooses, the experience is similar and there is no preference between one or the other. Students may expect the interview to last 20-30-minutes, in-person or virtual*.
    * Virtual interviews for the summer will be made available by June 20.

    Important items to consider:

    • Interviews are not required for admission, nor is the act of having an interview alone viewed positively in the admission process. They are a great opportunity to speak one-on-one and mutually determine whether Providence College may be a good fit for you. Students often use our interviews to elaborate on their personal experiences beyond what they share on the Common Application, as well as ask detailed questions about the College or the admission process.
    • If a student does choose to have an interview, it will be evaluative and used as one part of the application review.
    • An interview is not appropriate as a first introduction to Providence College and students are highly discouraged from participating in an interview prior to extensive research or a campus visit.

    Interviews are available until late November for high school seniors. Fall interview spaces will be made available in August. Duplicate registrations will be cancelled.

    We look forward to connecting with you soon!

    Students applying for admission for Fall 2026 are also welcome to record a Glimpse video. Glimpse is an opportunity to share a 60-90 second video helping us to get to know you better. It is a great alternative to an interview for students who still want to share their personality with us, but may not want the structure or evaluative nature of an interview. Glimpse videos will only be considered for applicants who did not have an interview and submitting a Glimpse video is considered similarly in our admission process.
