3️⃣ Step 3. Interview
</aside>
- A small number of candidates will advance to a 10-minute live interview, conducted with a member of the ODF team.
- Be prepared to discuss your previous work experiences, your future goals, and how ODF can help you get there.
- There will be time to answer any of your outstanding questions, if needed.
- Please be concise in your answers, as interviews are brief and we want to learn as much about you as possible!
- Candidates will receive an update on their status within one week.
- The ODF Admissions team meets once a week to discuss candidates that have finished their interviews, and to align on an outcome.

4️⃣ Step 4. Second Interview (as needed)
</aside>
- A second interview with a member of the ODF team might be needed to reach a final decision on your application.
- Receiving a second interview is not a negative or positive signal — sometimes we simply run out of time during the first interview.
- The length, content, and structure of the second interview is similar to the first interview.
- Candidates will receive an update on their status within one day of a second interview.

5️⃣ Step 5. Receiving an offer
</aside>
- If you receive an offer — congratulations!
- You will have up to 7 days to respond to your offer. Because ODF is over-demanded, we cannot guarantee your spot beyond this deadline.
- The $1000 price can be paid all at once or on a payment plan of two $500 payments.
