Alumni Interviewers 2024-2025

    With COVID-19 infections still occurring, we will continue to take precautions to stop the spread.  We also recognize that the virus is not going to disappear completely.

    We want to assure that prospective students (and their families) feel safe and confident during the interview.  Both in-person and virtual interviews are acceptable, depending on student and interviewer preferences.

    First year applicants are offered an opportunity to interview with a Claremont McKenna College alumnus between September 1 and December 13. Interviews are available to any student living in the US, and some countries abroad.

    These interviews are not required for admission to CMC, but we highly recommend them. Please contact directly an interviewer in your local area (one interviewer at a time) to set up your interview. Alumni interviewers are volunteers; they will respond to you as promptly as their schedules allow. Interviews will be scheduled on a first-come, first-served basis and are not guaranteed.  Only one interview per student. 

    The interviews are an evaluative part of your application.  They give us a chance to learn more about you. Likewise, through the interview you will have the opportunity to learn more about CMC in a one-on-one setting. Whether the interview is in person or virtual, you may dress more formally, however, casual or business casual attire is also fine. Interviews typically last 30 to 45 minutes.  If interviewing virtually, please choose a place in your home that has few distractions, good lighting, and a good Internet connection.

    Please include the following information when contacting an interviewer: your legal name, date of birth, high school name and high school city/state, and your email address.

    If you are unable to schedule an interview by mid-December, we strongly encourage you to submit the optional video response.  Applicants who interview may submit the video response as well.
