I'm thinking about applying to the engineering school at the University of Virginia. Does anyone know if interviews are required or optional for engineering applicants? Trying to prepare if it's necessary.
The University of Virginia (UVA) School of Engineering does not require applicants to undergo an interview as part of their admissions process. So, you won't need to schedule or prepare for an interview for this reason.
However, you will certainly want to put your energy into other aspects of your application. Make sure you highlight your interests in engineering and any relevant experiences you've had in your extracurricular activities, coursework, or personal projects. Crafting a compelling personal statement and supplement essays are also essential and will offer the admissions committee a fuller picture of who you are and why you might be a good fit for the engineering program at UVA. Best of luck with your application!
