We also require an interview and strongly encourage those invited to come to Penn for the interview. These interviews are usually scheduled during the term break:

  • St. George’s: Summer break or year end break between 4th and 5th terms

Completed application files are required prior to interviews. The most qualified applicants for the limited number of positions will be invited for interview. Dates and times will be arranged through the Admissions office.
