Registration for Applicants: All applicants will pre-register online, then upload required materials online in the Open Water Application.

Schools will contact the applicants individually using SLOTTR to schedule interviews on Wednesday 30 November, with additional times on Friday 2 December.
Schedule
Recruiters will schedule callbacks/interviews with candidates via Slottr, which will be linked from each candidate's virtual portfolio page. Candidates will be able to view scheduled appointments prior to the event.
A required pre-interview Q&A will be available for both candidates and recruiters prior to the start of each day, beginning at 10:00 am ET. A link will be provided. Recruiters will schedule interviews using SLOTTR. All candidates will receive a single Zoom link to log in, and a moderator will send candidates to the breakout room assigned to a recruiting institution. It is recommended that initial interviews occur during the hours of 10:30 am ET and 5:00 pm ET during the designated LiNK dates, but please be open to interviews after those dates. Please note, some recruiters may only offer information sessions, while others may request to see additional audition material.
