"Two 30-minute interviews with faculty. The faculty present you to the admissions committee and are there to advocate on your behalf. Anything you tell them that you want the committee to know will get across. Keep that in mind, they are there to help you in the process. Be ready to describe lots of previous experience. You should have a solid reason for wanting to attend Sinai." Report Response
