Program specific interviews

The Vericant Graduate Interview is designed to match applicants with programs. Optionally, institutions are able to tailor the interview to meet their needs.

Match applicants to your unique program

Our secure interviews can complete 2 parts of the application in 1 exam. However, our graduate level interview has the ability for further customization, especially if sponsored by the institution. Here’s a breakdown of what happens during the Vericant Interview and Writing Sample:

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.

Partner institutions are able to confidently require a secure interview solution that is specific to their program needs. Optionally, the Vericant Writing Sample can be included to better understand applicant motivations, character, and writing abilities.
