2. You step onto an elevator and find the president of the company where you have always wanted to work.

4. Please provide any additional information about your application that you believe would be helpful to the Admissions Committee (optional).

A personal, evaluative interview with a member of the Admissions Committee is strongly encouraged for all applicants.

Special Visit Weekend and telephone interview appointments are available as early as six weeks in advance. Telephone interviews are available during the day and in the evening.
