Interviews & Information Sessions

Call the Office of Undergraduate Admission to make a reservation, at (650) 725-5294. Stanford does not do interviews of any sort for undergraduate admission.

Campus Tours

Free tours are available twice a day, seven days a week. Tours depart from Vistor Information Services, in Memorial Auditorium, at 11 a.m. and 3:15 p.m. Tours are offered year-round, except during the winter holiday break and certain holidays. For more information, call (650) 723-2560 or e-mail visitorinfo@stanford.edu

Overnight Visits

Stanford does not provide overnight visits for prospective applicants, except in the case of athletic or diversity recruitment. However, if you are admitted to Stanford, you can, and should, come to Admit Weekend in mid-April. About 800 prospective freshmen (ProFros) come to Admit Weekend to check out Stanford and stay in the dorms from Thursday to Sunday. Keep in mind, this is Stanford’s way to convince you to come to the school, and most people will be trying hard to make the place look good. Still, you can get a reasonably accurate impression of the place and get a good sense of what the people are like. Admit Weekend is completely dry.
