Interviews and Writing Samples
Our interview and writing sample questions are adapted for age, while being carefully crafted to maintain gender and cultural neutrality for all applicants.
“Vericant has been a wonderful tool to help us focus our international student pool. With a small office and a relatively small number of openings, being able to vet students before they arrive helps us to make sure that no qualified and mission-aligned students have trouble getting an interview spot.”
Chris Young | Director of Admissions & Enrollment
