Admissions Interview Process

MTSA seeks to interview at least two qualified applicants for each available position in the cohort. After the application deadline, the MTSA Admission Committee conducts a holistic review of applications to determine interview eligibility. Selected candidates will be invited to participate in an on-campus personal interview, typically scheduled across several dates. 

Highly competitive applicants who demonstrate exceptional qualifications during the interview may be considered for early admission offers. Remaining admissions decisions will be made after the completion of the full interview schedule. 

Please note that MTSA is not obligated to offer interviews to all applicants. Admission to MTSA is competitive, and the composition and strength of the applicant pool may vary from year to year. 

MTSA is under no obligation to invite every candidate who applies to the School to an interview, as the admission process to MTSA is competitive, and the overall applicant pool varies from year to year. 

After the Screening Committee has determined an applicant is competitively qualified to meet with the Admissions Committee, the applicant will then be invited by MTSA to interview with the Admissions Committee during the annual interview session. Each applicant who receives an invitation from the Screening Committee to interview with the Admissions Committee will receive notification from the Admissions Coordinator regarding the scheduled date and time for his personal interview with the Admissions Committee.
