About the interview process

If you are selected as a finalist, you and a parent will be asked to come to campus for an interview. During the interview, we will ask some questions of you and some questions of your parent(s). You will also have the opportunity to ask questions of us, or have us explain parts of the program you don't understand. The whole process should only take about 15 minutes. If you are selected to interview, here are some tips:

  • Think carefully about each question before answering. There are no right or wrong answers. Be honest and answer each question as thoroughly as possible. Give examples if you can think of some.
  • Relax & be yourself. We don't bite!
  • If your parent does not speak English, please contact us in advance to arrange for an interpreter to be present. If this is not possible, we will ask you to translate every question we ask so that they know what's being said throughout the entire interview. Then, translate the answer.
  • All decisions will be made by May 9, and notifications will be mailed that week. Please do not call to ask about your status.
