They will be there live to share stories, offer insights, answer questions, and showcase what makes Haverford special.

Our virtual event series includes Q&As with the Dean and Director of Admission, Students Only Panels, and more!

Schedule an Interview

While interviews are not required, we do recommend that all applicants interview. Though we are not able to meet with you in person, we would love to schedule a video interview via Zoom. We are currently offering interviews to first-year applicants who plan to apply to college in the fall of 2024 and enroll in college in fall 2025 (most commonly current high school juniors). We are unable to accommodate interview requests for transfer students. Interviews will be available now through the application deadlines in your senior year.

Please note, you are only able to have one admission interview.

Visit a Class

Take the opportunity to experience a Haverford classroom via Zoom! Below is a sampling of Haverford courses currently being taught in ways that are conducive to visitors.

If you would like to visit a class:

  1. Please be sure to email the professor in advance. While each of these faculty is open to visitors, there may be days the class isn't being held or there may be other reasons why visiting doesn't work on a specific day. The professor will provide the zoom link for the class once they hear from you.
  2. Please be sure to come into the meeting at the very beginning of the class. If you are not able to stay for the whole class, please make sure that this is okay with the professor.
  3. Feel free to participate in the class as you are able! Our faculty and students are warm and welcoming, and will be excited you are there.
