Alumni Interviewing, Fall 2026
Come learn more about Olin’s hands-on academic experience and tight-knit community from the perspective of an Olin engineer by interviewing with one of our alumni! They’ll give you the inside scoop and we get the opportunity to learn more about you.
Our Alumni Interviews are held via video conference and are limited only to prospective students who will be applying for Fall 2027 admission. Alumni Interviews are optional and not a required component of the Olin application.

If you have done an optional staff interview via Olin on the Road, or plan on doing a staff interview, please do not sign-up for an additional alumni interview. We cannot accommodate both requests.
