New York City Interviews
The New York City interviews are held at Fordham’s Lincoln Center Campus (113 W. 60th Street, NYC). Each day begins at 10:00 AM. You will be e-mailed a confirmation of your interview time. (Interviews are scheduled every thirty minutes throughout the day). Please be early for your interview. We will make every attempt to stay on schedule, but please be prepared to stay if we run late. You can expect to stay between a half-hour and three hours depending on if you participate in the Q & A session and/or take a tour of the campus and dorm.

The Q&A session each day will begin at 1:00 PM (and last until approximately 1:45 PM). This is a time when the theatre faculty will talk with parents and prospective students about the theatre program.

Prospective students will also have an opportunity to talk with our Theatre Ambassadors about the program while you wait for your appointment time. The Ambassadors will also periodically be giving tours of the school and the dorms throughout the day. Patricia Peek from the Office of Undergraduate Admission will be present as well to answer any questions you have regarding admission, housing, and financial aid.

At the interview you will be meeting with one or more of the following theatre design faculty:

CHAD MCARVER, Design and Production Faculty, (Head of Design and Production Program)

MICHELLE PHILLIPS, Design and Production Faculty, (Costume and Scenic Design)
