4. INTERVIEW (if invited)

Applicants demonstrating potential will be invited to participate in an interview event. (You should know whether you have been invited to an interview within approximately three weeks of submitting your completed application.) You must be prepared to interview in New York City and submit one unofficial transcript from each university attended within two to three weeks of being invited. The interview event will include a teaching sample, a discussion with other candidates, and a personal interview. Not all applicants will be invited to interview.

5. WAIT FOR A DECISION

Based on the strengths of your application and interview, the Fellowship will decide whether or not you are right for the program. Please note that notification of a final decision on your application is tied to your interview date. (We will begin notifying candidates of admissions decisions in late January.)
