We know that nothing can replace visiting a college campus in person and experiencing that energy for yourself firsthand, but we are happy to offer opportunities for those who are unable to visit in person.
Each Virtual Visit will last 2 hours and will consist of two parts:
Admission Information Session
The Admission Information Session is designed to help high school students and prospective transfers explore the programs, places, and people that define Stanford’s commitment to undergraduate education within the setting of a world-class university. This is a 45-minute virtual information session conducted by a representative from the Office of Undergraduate Admission; the representative will discuss characteristics that make Stanford distinctive, as well as Stanford’s admission process and commitment to financial aid.
Student Forum
Designed for prospective undergraduates only, these 1-hour forums are live question and answer sessions with current Stanford undergraduates, and will discuss what it’s like to attend Stanford. Topics covered can include a wide variety, such as: housing and dining, dorm life, student life, and academics. These sessions are meant to supplement the Admission Information Session; as such, admission questions will not be answered during these sessions.

If none of the available dates work with your schedule or if all dates are full, you may view a pre-recorded version of the Admission Information Session on the Undergraduate Admission website.
Please note that Stanford does not track demonstrated interest as part of the admission process. Online engagement is optional and will not be part of the review of your application.
