Interview Format
Interview Day Program (2026-2027 Application Cycle)
Our goal is to host a virtual interview day program that will allow both you, as an applicant, and CMSRU, as a school, to gather useful, reliable information and provide a fair and equal experience for all participants. Our interview format has been designed to give us insight into the character of each applicant and it is meant to be a relaxed conversation and not an interrogation. Our intent is to keep the process as transparent and straightforward as possible for you as an applicant. We also acknowledge that unforeseen circumstances may arise that could impact a scheduled interview session. Please be assured that we will work together with you to minimize and respond to these.
