Loyola Chicago / Interview
The Loyola Chicago interview
No admissions interview. Here is how it works and how to prepare.
No admissions interview
No interviews offered; admissions decisions based entirely on application materials.
How to prepare for Loyola Chicago
- Loyola Chicago uses rolling admissions after December 1, so applying by the Priority deadline gives you a material advantage , submit by December 1 for strongest consideration.
- Demonstrated interest matters: attend virtual info sessions, visit campus if possible, and engage with Loyola's Jesuit mission messaging in your activities and any optional writing.
- The personal statement is optional but submitting one is advisable , use it to show fit with Loyola's values of service, social justice, and community.
- If you have specific interest in a program (e.g., Quinlan School of Business, Stritch School of Medicine pipeline), research that school/program and mention it specifically in the Common App school-specific questions to show focus.
Practice before the real thing
Rehearse real admissions-interview questions and get an honest read on your answers, what an interviewer hears, where you sound generic, and what to sharpen. We coach you; we never script you.
