Open Interviews

Available September 21 - November 7, 2009

During our Open Interview season only, you may request an evaluative interview in Durham, either during or outside of a scheduled campus visit. A completed application is NOT required to interview during the Open Interview period.

Due to high demand, additional interview slots have been added to our Open Interview period during the first week of November. There will be no additional interview slots added beyond the Open Interview period, which ends on November 7. These interview slots are expected to fill quickly, so please schedule your interview through our online scheduling system as soon as possible. We will be unable to accommodate interview requests after the slots on the online scheduling system have been filled. Once the interview slots have been filled, you are still welcome and encouraged to schedule other campus visit activities by utilizing the "Campus visit without interview" option.

Use our online scheduling system to register for your Open Interview (NOT for Invitation-Only Interviews).

Invitation-Only Interviews

After the Open Interview period, interviews are by invitation only. A completed application is required to interview during the Invitation-Only Interview period. If invited, you will have the option to interview in Durham or in a number of cities around the world.
