Official Interviews

You will be contacted for an official interview once the CASE application and supporting documentation have been received. Students applying for the CASE program will be reviewed holistically based upon their completed application. Separate in-person interviews will be held with the prospective student and their parent(s)/guardian(s). The interviews will include questions related to college readiness and provide an opportunity for the student/parent(s)/guardian(s) to understand the expectations of the CASE program.  

Official interviews must be completed before a decision is made regarding acceptance to the CASE program. Students will be contacted as soon as possible to inform them of their enrollment status (i.e., accepted, waitlisted, etc.). The CASE program reserves the right to accept or deny applicants based on the holistic review of their completed application, required accompanying documents, and official interviews.
