General Requirements How to Apply The Interview How To Get Here

Your Interview

When we receive your completed supplemental packet, we will review your credentials for consideration for interview. All interview offers are made via email, and you will not be admitted without an interview.

We want to get to know our best candidates personally. Since we receive roughly 5,000 applications for 148 spots in each class, we cannot interview everyone. We can only interview candidates we feel are the best match for our program.

After your interview, the Admissions Committee makes its selections. The action taken by the Committee may be acceptance, placement on the wait list, or not accepted. You’ll be notified by mail, usually within one month after your interview.

 

If you’ve been granted an interview and want to know more about what it is like, visit The Interview Room for first-hand feedback from some interview veterans:

Interviewed by students.
Larry Ho This was the only school I applied to that had student interviews. Their words weigh equally with the faculty.
