You can learn a great deal about Hamilton by reading our publications, but there is no substitute for the campus visit. We invite you to visit Hamilton to meet our outstanding students and faculty and see our amazing facilities.
During the 2011-12 academic year (August 22, 2011 - May 18, 2012), our office is open Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. We are also open most Saturdays in the fall and spring.
During the summer (May 21, 2012 - August 24, 2012), the Office of Admission is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. We're also open most Saturdays in July and August.
Please check the schedule below or the links on this page for more visit options, including information about how to schedule an interview.
During the week of February 20-24, the Admission Office will offer a daily student led Information Session at 12:15 p.m.
The Admission Office will host a Junior Preview Saturday on February 25.
People don't join the Hamilton community for just four years; they belong for a lifetime. For many students, membership in that enduring community begins with the personal interview. Furthermore, because the admission committee works hard to ensure "fit" with Hamilton when determining admission decisions, personal interviews are strongly encouraged. An interview will not only provide us with a strong sense of your personal strengths and interests that may not be obvious in an application, it will also give you a chance to ask questions and learn more about Hamilton in a personal setting.
Personal interviews are conducted by admission officers or Hamilton seniors who are carefully selected and trained for this purpose. On-campus interviews are available as follows:
To schedule an interview, call the Admission Office at 800-843-2655. Because our interviews are fully booked weeks in advance, you should try to schedule an interview well before your intended visit. On-campus interviews for Fall 2012 applicants are available until January 31 and may be scheduled by calling the Admission Office.
The deadline for requesting an off-campus interview was December 16 and we are no longer able to accept new requests. This deadline ensured a reasonable amount of time for our office to process the request and for an Alumni Admission Representative to arrange and conduct the interview as well as submit an evaluation to the Admission Office before the January 1 deadline.
