[Computer Science PhD] Are there any precedents that PhD applicants got accepted without interviews?

[darksteam]

It is mid of January already and I have not received any interviews requests from my applied schools. Should I consider this silent rejects?

I know that 10+ years ago most applicants went into the CS PhD programs without interviews because the video call technology was not common as today's. Hence, I wonder if there were applicants accepted into the Computer Science PhD programs without interviews in the recent years?

I had spoken with few of the PhDs at EPFL. It is not entirely unheard of to get admit + fellowship there without an interview. But to be hired by a lab, you surely need a interview.
