The Admission team has partnered with Vericant to get to know our Chinese applicants better. Vericant will conduct video interviews and short writing samples with our applicants in mainland China. Vericant does not evaluate candidates, but posts the interviews online for our Admission team to review. The Vericant interview will give you an excellent opportunity to showcase your personality. A Vericant interview is NOT required for our application process, but applicants are more than welcome to submit one. 

To learn more about Vericant and to schedule an interview, please visit Vericant's Website.

A personal interview is required for all applicants. Although an on-campus interview is preferred, we realize that distance and personal circumstances may necessitate a telephone interview. Telephone interviews will only be considered after a complete application has been received.
