Interviews
Interviews are required and are by invitation only. Once the application and letters of recommendation are submitted, you may be invited for an interview. Interviews will all be virtual. These virtual interview days will begin in the early morning and last until mid-afternoon (Eastern Time). The day consists of a program overview presentation, attendance at the morning conference, interviews with faculty, and a private meeting with current fellows.
The purpose of the interview is to permit the candidate to discuss the program and its philosophies with faculty. It also provides the candidate with an opportunity to meet representative faculty. Please let us know in advance if:
- There is any specific faculty member that you have a particular interest in meeting
- There are personal needs (i.e., spouse employment, schools, etc.) that should receive special attention on your interview day
