The Interview Day
For this admission cycle we will be offering two different types of interview:
- In-Person interviews in Boston are scheduled in a three-hour block which includes an information session/Q&A with Performing Arts Faculty and Staff and a flexible “volunteering” system to determine the interview order.
- Virtual interviews are conducted through Acceptd’s AuditionRoom platform and begin with a brief information session/Q&A with Performing Arts Faculty and Staff before individually scheduled interview time slots.
Please be advised that not all audition types are available during every part of the admission cycle.
While these three types of auditions offer different timings, the modality and location of the audition that you schedule for yourself will have no bearing whatsoever on your admission decision.
