If the Internship Year sounds like something you want to pursue, come meet us. We're looking for motivated men and women ready to take on the risks and responsibilities of learning by doing. We'll get a picture of the person you are in these ways:

The Interview

When you come to Worcester, we'll show you a slide show that explains the Outward Bound trip, internships, and apartment information. We require the interview and make it a time for you to tell us about yourself in a way that's hard to do on paper.

If you would like more information or to schedule an interview please contact Jennifer Ridder, Acting Director of Admissions at jridder@dynamy.org, or call (508) 755-2571.

You may request an application here.

The Application

We want three references from people who can tell us about you. How much responsibility you like to take on? What do you do outside the classroom? What do you believe in? How do people see you?

You'll have to write essays with yourself as the main topic. What kind of experiences have you had that you think might prepare you for the Internship Year? What led you to thinking about this year? Your reflections will help us to evaluate your application.

Transcripts

We want your academic transcripts, but we won't judge you on your grades. Where you're coming from gives us a broader idea of who you are.

Early decision

If you're sure you want the Dynamy Year, we'll take a load off your mind by letting you know our decision by mid February. You'll need to get all of your application materials to us by January 31. If you're accepted, you must agree within two weeks to withdraw other applications you've filed, and secure your spot with a tuition deposit.

Regular decision

We review applications on a rolling admissions basis beginning on February 15. Even though we set no formal deadline for applications, we suggest you have all of your materials to us by late spring/early summer since we only have a limited number of available spaces.

Internship Year Costs

Dynamy affirms the guarantee of equal opportunity for both staff and interns, without discrimination for reasons of race, ethnic background, religious beliefs, sex, or handicap.
