Interview and Selection Process
Participants will be selected on the basis of their academic record, student leadership experience, community service record, maturity, educational and professional goals, and references.
Applications are pre-screened and top candidates will be invited to schedule an interview. Interviews will begin Monday, February 11, 2013 and continue through Thursday, February 14, 2013. The interview, conducted by the selection committee, will be evaluated in making the final selection along with the online application materials. The committee is comprised of the IU in DC program director, a SPEA faculty member, advisors/administrators from other IU departments, and a recent student participant.
Candidates selected for the program will be notified shortly after interviews are completed, and students will be required to accept their seat in the program by a set deadline. A wait-list will be established in case any of the original candidates are unable to participate.
