Grinnell CollegeAdmissions Facts & Statistics

During information sessions, an admissions counselor will discuss with prospective students and their families important information about the Grinnell experience. There is also a Q&A session. The information sessions are available Monday through Friday and on some Saturdays during the school year. In terms of interviews, they aren't required, but students can definitely schedule one.

Campus tours are conducted by a current student, giving prospective students the opportunity to pose questions about the Grinnell experience to someone who's experiencing it firsthand.

High school seniors can stay overnight with Grinnell students in a residence hall, getting the full college living experience. Through the overnight experience, prospective students also often get to attend a club meeting, a play, or another campus event. The overnight policy and release form must be completed and returned to the Office of Admission at least three days prior to a student's scheduled visit.

You can visit campus as a prospective student ("prospie") and stay a weekend in the dorms with real students, many of which were in your position just a year ago.
