For those who dont have interviews

<p>wats goin on if u didn’t get called for interviews…and you know there’s interviews available in ur area…is this automatically like a rejection letter…do they not care about you enough to contact you.</p>

<p>Not at all - I've heard it's totally random. Plenty of people get in who were never interviewed. There aren't enuf interviewers to go around, so only about half get called for interviews.</p>

<p>first off the interviews are done by alumni, not the actual penn admissions people. Thats why if there are no/barely-any alumni in your area you probably wont get an interview. I personally looked into this and called the alumni association in a nearby city (denver) to ask if i could drive up and have an interview. Apparently this is not allowed, so I instead have no interview...hopefully teacher recs will be enough to get those of us in who didnt have the oppurtuniy to interview.</p>
