Interview Scheduling
In this section, you can configure the Schedule Interview activity, which allows applicants to select their own interview dates and times from a drop-down. First, you create Interviews in WebAdMIT and configure the available interview dates and times. Then, you enable the Schedule Interview activity so applicants can select from the times you configured. For more information on configuring interview types, see Interviewing.
Note that if you do not wish to use this feature, your admissions team can instead assign applicants and interview times directly in WebAdMIT.
To configure, click the Schedule Interview link on the App Gateway Editor page.
Create Introductory and Finishing Text
The text you include in the Activity Introduction displays to the applicant before they schedule their interview. You can use this space to describe how your program conducts interviews and how to contact your admissions department.
