The UVM interview
No admissions interview. Here is how it works and how to prepare.
No admissions interview
No interviews offered for undergraduate admissions.
How to prepare for UVM
- Treat the optional supplemental essay as expected , admissions explicitly recommends writing it, so a thoughtful 500-word response is one of the most impactful steps you can take.
- Demonstrate genuine interest through a campus visit or virtual information session with an admissions counselor, as demonstrated interest can matter at UVM.
- UVM admits about 58% of applicants, so a well-crafted application package , strong grades, a compelling Why UVM essay, and good recommendations , carries significant weight in lieu of any interview.
- Apply Early Action or Early Decision if UVM is a top choice; the non-binding EA option lets you hear back early without committing.
Practice before the real thing
