Interview Day
Interview dates for the current 2021 - 2022 application cycle remain to be determined.
We generally interview on Thursdays and occasionally on Monday. Interview days are filled on a first-come, first-scheduled basis, so we recommend scheduling your interview as soon as possible after you receive an invitation. If an interview day is full, we can schedule you for another date and put you on a wait-list for your first choice.
