The 20-Minute Interview

The required interview is a 20-minute conversation with faculty and the admissions team, held after school. Because it comes after the January 7 application deadline, students have time to reflect on their visit and what they learned about the school.

How to Prepare

  • Reflect on the student visit: a class, teacher, or moment your child remembers.
  • Practice relaxed conversation about interests, books, and goals.
  • Think about what Sacred Heart values, like community and service, mean to your child.
  • Register for an interview slot right when registration opens January 14.
  • Make sure recommendations and the transcript are submitted on time.

Making the Most of Both Steps

The visit and interview are your child’s best chances to connect with Convent & Stuart Hall in person. We help families prepare thoughtfully.
