Optional alumni interview, ~30-45 min, virtual or in your area
How to prepare for Clark
- Clark's alumni interviews are informational and low-stakes , the interviewer is as much selling the school as evaluating you, so come prepared with genuine questions about Clark's research opportunities and LEEP (Liberal Education and Effective Practice) program.
- Emphasize intellectual curiosity and self-direction; Clark attracts students who pursue unconventional paths and the interview is a good place to show you fit that culture rather than playing it safe.
- Interviews are not always available for every applicant , if you are not offered one, it does not hurt your application, so do not stress about seeking one out.
- Follow up with a brief thank-you note to your interviewer; Clark values demonstrated interest and this small gesture reinforces your genuine enthusiasm for the school.
Practice before the real thing
