4. The Interview: A Conversation, Not Just a Requirement

While the interview is a required part of the application process, we view it as much more than a formality. It’s an opportunity for us to get to know your child beyond the written application—and just as importantly, for your family to get to know Rumsey.

We look forward to connecting and learning more about your child, because at Rumsey, every student’s story matters.
