We strongly encourage* applicants to participate in our unique Ammi Hyde Interview. Named after an influential DU professor, the Hyde Interview allows us to meet personally with applicants and learn about the personal qualities and experiences that aren't necessarily reflected in test scores, GPAs and essays.

What

You'll meet with one to three members of our community, including alumni, faculty and staff. Interviews last about 20 minutes. Participants from previous years tell us they found the experience enjoyable and beneficial. The atmosphere is relaxed, and questions are designed to let you give your application a voice.

Why

We use the Hyde Interview to learn more about our applicants and to determine whether they will benefit from and contribute to academic and community life at DU. Think of it as your chance to show us the many ways in which you are motivated to learn, concerned about integrity and honesty, and open to differences and new ideas.

Where

Hyde Interviews take place in over 30 cities across the country.

When

Interview periods for students applying for Fall 2012 will occur in November 2011 for Early Action (EA) applicants and January 2012 for Regular Decision (RD) applicants.
