Next Steps After Submitting an Application

After you submit your application, please do the following to complete your application process:

  • You will receive an email with a link to your completed application. You can download your application as a PDF and also use that link to share it with interviewers. If for some reason you don't receive it, contact Greg Dixon at LS(at)saratoga.org.
  • Schedule an interview FIRST with program director Greg Dixon. Use this link to schedule this. This interview should take place before your Advisory Board interviews.
  • Schedule interviews with two (no more than two) Advisory Board members. These should be scheduled to take place AFTER you meet with the program director.
  • Please email the Advisory Board members you are meeting with the link or PDF of your completed application so they can review your application prior to your interview with them.
  • The deadline for completing all interviews and the application is May 30, 2025.
  • Applicants will be notified of the Advisory Board's decision no later than July 31, 2025.

Additional Information:

It is suggested that you select people with whom you are not already acquainted. In total, you will complete two separate interviews with Advisory Board Members and one interview with the program director. 

We strongly suggest you schedule your interviews early to assure availability and that you email your application to each interviewer from the Advisory Board in advance of your scheduled interview.
