Is there any schools that accepts undergrad students without an interview?

cuz i heard that in rare instances, some schools hand out acceptances just after the first application.

is this true?

Maybe possible, but I have not heard of this. All the schools that I looked at says that there will be an interview before accepting any candidate. But again, I could be wrong too.

never heard of that either

never heard of it either. I guess its possible but being a dr. is about so much more than what you appear as on paper. An interview shows that you are at least capable of faking social skills. There could be some 4.0/45 people walking around out there that would be terrible docs and have no semblance of communication skills.

i've never heard of anything like this either, but schools like washu operate quite close to this. if you have extreme numbers, i've heard that the interview is a pretty nominal part of the whole process at washu.

I've heard of admissions without an interview, but only very rarely. Basically you've got to have extreme stats (like 40+ on the MCAT).

So it can happen, but don't count on it.

If you're talking about undergrads, then none of the UCs conduct interviews.

If you're talking about medical schools, I haven't heard of such a case.

And constructor takes a swipe at wash u.
