There is no registration fee, nor any per-schedule fees, to participate in any segment of the 2027 Recruiting Program.
For each of these segments, registering employers will indicate which class year(s) they wish to interview and which application materials they wish each applicant to submit.
Interview schedules for Spring, Summer and Fall VIP will be 100% employer-selected.
