Thanks for your email. The vericant interview is not required. It is optional and up to you if you want to interview or not. It will not count against you if you don’t. It is to assess your English language skills. If you are interested in the interview, the deadline is March 1. More information is available under the international admissions requirements at www.pratt.edu/apply. Just select graduate or undergraduate to access the international requirements page. Again, note that it is not required.
