How does the application process work?<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Applications open in early fall and early spring. You can indicate up to five courses that you would be willing to support as an LA or CA. The program requires that you must have made at least a B- in a course to serve as an LA\/CA for it. We will be independently verifying to ensure that this bar is met. In the application, you will\u00a0\u00a0 write a paragraph explaining why you want to be an LA\/CA as well as answer a few other questions. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Based on the written applications, we will select students to interview. (If you don\u2019t get interviewed the first time you apply, don\u2019t worry! We typically have many more applicants that we can interview, and we\u2019re happy to talk to you about your application.)\u202fInterviews are 15 minutes each and are led by two faculty members. The interviewers use a standard set of questions and a rubric to help ensure that they gain the type of information they need from each applicant.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

After interviews, the leadership team will make final selections and email all applicants regarding their status.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
