8.Interviews

Although interviews are not required, you may be asked to participate in one (either in-person or via Skype) after the admissions committee has conducted an initial review of your completed application. In these cases, an interview provides us with the opportunity to gather additional information or virtually meet applicants who are not able to visit campus in person.

We encourage applicants, whenever possible, to attend one of our on-campus admissions events. These events allow you to learn more about our program and get your questions answered while also providing us with the opportunity to meet you and learn more about your background and interests. If attendance at one of our upcoming admissions events does not fit into your schedule, you can reach out to our admissions team to arrange for another time to visit with us either in person or virtually.
