Request an interview schedule
If you haven't already and want to request an on-campus interview schedule at a school with a pre-select interview timeline, refer to How to Request an Interview Schedule at a School.
Select your primaries and alternates
1. Click Interviews from the left navigation bar, then click directly on the schedule name.
2. On the Interview Schedule page, click the Applicants tab in the upper-right corner of the page.
3. In the student table, select either the Primary or Alternate status from the Status dropdown menu for each student.
Selecting primaries after sign-up start date
If a primary is selected after the sign-up date, they will not be automatically notified. You can choose to notify them at the time they are selected, or you can manually notify them yourself at a later time.
To select a primary after the sign-up start date, navigate to the Applicants tab of the interview schedule.
Locate the student you want to select as a primary from the table, then click into the Status dropdown and select Primary.
A pop-up modal with the message "The applicant you have selected will not automatically be notified since they were selected after the signup start date. You can choose to notify them now, or manually notify them yourself later. Would you like to notify the applicant that they have been selected to interview?" will appear.
To notify the student, click the blue Notify Applicant button. If you want to notify the applicant at a later time, click the white Do Not Notify button.
Note: If you choose to not notify the student, you may send the student a message when you're ready to notify them.
