Hey guys, I'm interested in applying to UPenn and was curious about their interview process. Can anyone tell me if they interview all applicants or just a select few? Thanks in advance!
UPenn aims to provide interviews to as many applicants as possible, but they do not interview everyone. The availability of interviews depends on the number of alumni volunteers in a given region, the number of applicants in that area, and even the time of application submission. It's important to note that interviews are offered on an invitation-only basis, meaning that you cannot request one.
Based on the availability of interviews, some applicants might not receive an interview even though they are qualified candidates. Keep in mind that interviews are optional and not receiving one doesn't negatively impact your application. On the other hand, if you do receive an interview invitation, your application may benefit from a positive interview report submitted by your interviewer. Overall, while it's an opportunity for the admissions committee to learn more about you, it's just one part of UPenn's holistic admission process.
Good luck with your application!
