Accepted without letters of recommendation?

I just got accepted to VCU pharmacy, but when I applied for early decision, I didn't have letters of recommendation and the pharmacy department said I didn't have to worry about them now. Does that sound weird to anyone or is that within possibility?

I have never heard of that. When you say you didnt have to worry about them now, do you mean you will eventually have to submit LORs?

Nope, the response said "I wouldn't worry about them."
...??? I have never heard of that either! That's less work for me, but it just sounds so...iffy. I'm asking other friends who are already there too.

I heard SWOSU doesn't require LORs, although I'm not 100% sure.

PharmCAS has a table for each school and their specific LOR requirements. I suggest checking it out.

I've seen the chart, and I know that almost all schools require LORs. BUT! I've been reading VCU website over and over again and it seems that if you applied for early decision, not regular admission, you don't have to submit the letters...
I'm still waiting to hear back from a few people...
This happen to anyone???
