Colgate Admission Conversations

Meet virtually with a member of the Colgate community

Our virtual tour, information session, and campus visit are a great introduction to Colgate University, but we know you may have additional questions or desire additional perspective. Colgate Admission Conversations, formerly referred to as virtual interviews, are a great opportunity for current high school seniors to meet 1:1 with a current Colgate student or alumni representative to have your questions answered and gain valuable insight from those who know Colgate best.

Colgate Admission Conversations, as part of Colgate’s admission process, are not required, and are non-evaluative.
