Interview Guidelines
You will interview with an admissions representative to discuss your goals, aspirations, and what you will bring to Berklee. Interviews completed online are given the same admission and scholarship consideration as those completed in-person.
All interviews are conducted in English. If you have concerns about your English language abilities, please contact the Office of Admissions at 617-747-2222 or admissions@berklee.edu.
