International Interview Request Form

We’re excited that you would like to interview with us! Upon submission of this form we will put you on our request list. Though interviews are not a requirement for your application to Grinnell, we understand that they can be a helpful supplement for both the applicant and the admission office. However, the majority of international students admitted to Grinnell do not interview and, thus, are not penalized in any way by the lack an of an interview.

Please know that this form submission does not guarantee an interview session. Given the volume of requests, we cannot provide an interview session for each candidate. Our office will notify you if an interview has been granted. Let's get started!

We are no longer accepting interview requests from students applying for Early Decision 1.
