An admission counseling session with the Office of Admission isn't an interview, but is rather an informal conversation with an admission counselor. A counseling session allows rising high school juniors and seniors to seek guidance or ask questions of the Office of Admission. Our intention is to assist students who are approaching the time of application, who have questions about Carnegie Mellon's unique colleges/programs, as well as the admission process. We only encourage students with specific questions about Carnegie Mellon or the admission process to register for an admission counseling session. Admission counseling sessions last about 20-30 minutes.
