UNC / Interview
The UNC interview
No admissions interview. Here is how it works and how to prepare.
No admissions interview
No interviews offered; UNC Chapel Hill does not conduct admissions interviews for undergraduate applicants
How to prepare for UNC
- Visit campus or attend a virtual information session , demonstrated interest, while not formally tracked, shows genuine enthusiasm for UNC specifically.
- Use the short answer prompts and additional information section of the Common App to convey your voice and personality, since there is no interview to do so in person.
- Connect with current students or regional UNC alumni networks to learn about campus culture, which can sharpen the specificity of your essays.
- If applying to specialized programs (e.g., Honors Carolina), check those program pages separately as some may have their own selection steps.
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.
