I think it's listed in the comments section on the application credential status page. Also I noticed you applied to all the Boston schools except Northeastern. any reason why you left that one out?

Mine says CD Interview Time and the time and date on the credential status page now. I signed up for Skype, so I don't know if it is there for people who chose the in-person option yet.

There is a link provided under the credentials after the interview invite! It asked me to select an interview preference. You can choose either an in-person interview, or an interview over skype.

Hey for the life of me I can't find the dates! Can you just copy and paste for me? 

Also if it wasn't on CSDCAS that might be a reason for it. I tried to apply to schools that were within my interest but also were available on CSDCAS because I didn't wan to overload my referees with a lot of different systems and such

I wish some of these old threads had more specific details about the interviews!

[MrsH]

Hi! About Emerson, did you guys get an email about the interview, or did you just check? Thanks! Good luck! 

[BamaBelle]

I just checked the portal because I saw others were posting. Two years ago it looks like the emails didn't come until a couple days after the portal was updated.

[MrsH]

Ok, thank you! Best of luck!

Is anybody going to the Loma Linda interview next week? 

[esopha]

While it would be nice to know more about the interviews, I don't think it's really fair to ask about the content of the questions that they would ask. And part of an interview is feeling the vibe between people and being able to be personable, too, so I'm not sure that having too much more information would be helpful!

I do suggest everyone practice interviewing, though! Especially if you've never interviewed for a job outside of school before. Interviewing is definitely a skill and it took me a long time to stop feeling awkward about it!

By trying to get people to fess up what was in it last year. Also if u type in Emerson interview in Google you'll get a cool website with sample questions

Hi, a friend of mine interviewed at Emerson last year and she gave me some info on what to expect. When you get there you sit in a room with the graduate students, then you're called in one at a time for your interview. Interviews are 15 minutes each, three questions. She suggested to make sure you don't talk the entire time because once the time is up you won't have the chance to ask any more questions face to face.
