Interviews

Interviews are the most critical part of the evaluation process—for you and for us. Interviews are designed as a mutual conversation where our discussion focuses on three essential questions:

  1. Are you prepared to succeed in this program?
  2. Will we be offering you high value? Does this program fit your academic needs and goals?
  3. What distinctive talents, skills and expertise will you bring to the community?
