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