Important COVID-19 Information
In response to the extraordinary spread of COVID-19, like many other colleges and universities, Smith College has made the difficult decision to close all college buildings to the public and suspend on-campus events. As a result, the Office of Admission has canceled all visit programs for admitted students, as well as campus tours, information sessions, on-campus interviews and group visits until further notice.
For updates on Smith’s response to the COVID-19 outbreak, please visit the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) page.
A personal interview is highly recommended for first-year and transfer students and is required for Ada Comstock Scholars. This one-to-one conversation allows you to tell us about yourself and to ask specific questions about Smith.
Schedule an Interview
You can interview with an admission counselor on campus or schedule an interview with an alumna near you.
