In the process of applying to Temple University and trying to determine if an interview is needed. Does Temple require interviews for applicants, or are they an optional part of the process?
Temple University does not require or offer admissions interviews as a part of their application process. The university evaluates applicants based on their academic record, personal essay, and extracurricular involvement. That being said, it's always beneficial to explore different avenues to engage with the University, such as virtual information sessions or virtual tours, as it can help you understand the institution better and write more detailed supplemental essays if required. However, rest assured that not having an interview will not negatively impact your application. It's more important to focus on the areas of the application you can control such as the submission of all required materials by the deadline, your essay, and other components of your application.
