On-Campus Interviews
By “interview” we really mean “casual conversation between you and your Admissions Counselor to get to know one another,” but that doesn’t fit quite as succinctly in a headline. Interviews aren’t required but are encouraged.

Take the Smile Test
To get a feel for the campus atmosphere when touring colleges, Kate Songer ‘19 gave each school a point when a current student returned her smile, offered help, or held a door open for her. The “Smile Test” helped her experience the welcoming St. Lawrence community on her visit, and we encourage you to try it for yourself.
