<p>Well, no one can escape the issue that a visual evaluation is likely done during the interview process.</p>
<p>The issue isn’t just weight, but can be all sorts of things…unattractive people often face the same sorts of discrimination during interviews.</p>
<p>As for weight, I imagine the amount could be a factor. If someone is just pudgy, then probably not a factor. If someone is so obese that the interviewers might question the ability to have the stamina for med school, then that could be a factor.</p>
