The Graduate Vericant Interview
This 16-18 minute session uses behavioral questions similar to those in K-12 and undergraduate interviews. For institution-sponsored interviews, we can tailor and create program-specific sessions to better match applicants to programs.
The Graduate Vericant Writing Sample
A 30-minute typed essay assesses an applicant’s English writing skills, offering a choice between an analytical or practical prompt. For in-person tests, desktop computers are available at select locations.
