Do you guys know of any schools that do not require interviews for admittance? If so please let me know which ones.

I believe that every dental school describes the interview as a critical component of student selection, and is therefore required for admission.

Yeah, pretty much every single one does...why wouldn't you want an interview? That's the one chance you have to show them who you are. Good luck.

I don't think Creighton or NYU absolutely require an interview for admissions, however, I doubt many people get accepted without one.

I was just curious because some interviews require that you travel quite a bit. It seems like such a bum deal to have to drive 15+ hours to interview at a school that gives you no promises of admittance.

I think most schools require an interview. I was however, wait listed last year at one school without an interview so I guess technically speaking I could have been accepted without an interview (but was not offered a spot so I don't know). I flew across the country 3 times last year for interviews and it is pricey but you got to do what you got to do!!! Enjoy the traveling...
