Interviews and Transcript Evaluations

    Interviews, meet & greets, and transcript evaluations serve a purpose; they let you ask, "why should I choose Saint Mary's?"

    UPDATE: Due to protocols aimed at reducing the spread of COVID-19, all interviews, meet & greets, and transcript evaluations will only be offered via phone and video calls until further notice.

    Admissions Interviews (Incoming First-Years Only): We conduct 30-minute interviews for high school students and/or incoming first-year students without any previous college experience. This is a great opportunity to share your story so we can get to know you beyond your application. Get the opportunity to share your background, activities, interests, and/or concerns with one of our Admission Counselors or Student Ambassadors. In turn, we'll be happy to answer all that you may be wondering about our wonderful institution!

    Meet & Greets (Both Incoming First-Years & Transfers): This is a great opportunity for you to sit down with one of our Admission Counselors to chat more about the application process for admission to Saint Mary’s. Your parents, grandparents, and other relatives are more than welcome to join you on the call to ask more questions related to all things Saint Mary’s. Want to know more about the campus, student life, or financial aid? Then join us for a Meet & Greet with a member of our team!

    Transcript Evaluations (Transfers Only): Sit down with one of our Admissions Counselors and let us get to know you more! Bring any unofficial transcripts or course evaluations and we can advise you 1-on-1 about the next steps to transfer in. All of our Admissions Counselors are ready to answer any questions or concerns you may have. We want to make your path to Saint Mary's as easy as possible!

    *Note: Phone Interviews or Transcript Evaluations are offered for certain students outside of a certain radius to campus, please let us know in advance if you are interested in this option. Additionally, interviews and transcript evaluations are reserved for students who have yet to receive their admissions decision. We encourage admitted students with specific questions to sign up for a Meet & Greet with their admissions counselor.
