At the University of Denver, we want to ensure that students we admit can succeed here. That’s why we strongly encourage applicants to participate in our unique Ammi Hyde Interview.

Named after an influential DU professor, the Hyde Interview is just one component of our commitment to personal attention. By taking the time to meet personally with applicants, we learn about the personal qualities and experiences that aren’t necessarily reflected in test scores, GPAs and essays.

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
• open to differences and new ideas

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

Interview periods for students applying for fall 2009 will occur in November for Early Action applicants and February for Regular Decision applicants. Regular Decision applicants may interview in November if the dates are more convenient than the February times. Interviews will also take place on campus throughout the year.
