Do many people interview with Carleton? Is an interview required?

The Admissions Office:An interview is not a required part of the application, but it is recommended. The Carleton interview is informational rather than evaluative. It's a chance for us to get to know you more personally aside from grades and test scores, and it's a chance for you to get to know the college.
If it is not possible for you to come to campus, you can interview with one of our alumni who lives in your area. You can schedule an interview (either with an alum or an admissions counselor) by calling the admissions office at 1-800-995-2275.
