Tours & Interviews

Campus Tours & Interviews

Campus tours followed by an interview with an admission officer or faculty member are offered on weekdays when classes are in session. These visits last approximately 90 minutes and are available through mid-January. Since space is limited, we recommend scheduling a campus tour and interview as soon as possible. Please note that we are unable to arrange meetings during this time with individuals who work outside of the Admission Office such as faculty, coaches, or other community members.

Group Tours

Group tours are offered in late January for families who are interviewing online or who have not yet had the opportunity to visit campus before applying to the school. All group tours are scheduled through our online admission portal which is available to candidates via email after submission of the inquiry form.

 

Online Interviews

Online interviews are offered on weekdays and follow the same format as campus interviews with approximately thirty minutes interviewing the student individually, followed by approximately fifteen minutes of follow-up with parents/guardians. As with campus interviews, we strongly recommend that at least one parent/guardian attend the online interview to provide further context on the candidate as well as ask us questions about how Loomis Chaffee might fit your family’s values and goals.

Other Virtual Options

Loomis Chaffee accepts both InitialView and Vericant online interviews. These are excellent options for applicants unable to schedule an interview directly with Loomis Chaffee who want to share more information about themselves with the Admission Committee. See the InitialView and Vericant websites for more information.

Another option for those unable to schedule an interview with us but who do want to share more information about themselves is to submit a video essay. This is a short response to a questions created by Loomis that applicants can access via their Loomis Chaffee application portal. The video essay is free to submit, only available to applicants, and only for those who have not already completed or scheduled an interview. See your portal for more information. 

 

Off-Campus Interviews

If we are offering interviews in your area, you will receive a registration link via email in advance of the visit. Off-campus interviews follow the same format as campus and online interviews and are conducted by an admission officer.
