大學多元入學方式中，唯有申請入學在統一考試外，另外透過面試評估考生的學術與個人特質，師生也因此有面對面的接觸機會，使得面試老師可能因為對肥胖的刻板印象而不利肥胖學生的申請入學。本文使用北部一所私立大學102至108學年度（不含105學年度）的新生身高、體重與入學管道資料，分析身材是否與申請入學管道、面試占總分比例，以及學測分數有關。當以BMI代表身材時，未發現高BMI不利於申請入學。申請入學與身材無關的結論亦於差中差模型得到驗證。但如果以國民健康署對身材定義的過輕、正常、過重與肥胖分類，雖然在男學生整體資料分析未發現面試對肥胖學生不利，但男學生申請樣本顯示肥胖者有較低機率透過有面試的申請入學。

In addition to the unified exam, the Application channel is the only channel that might use interviews to evaluate students' academic character and personality traits. The face-to-face interview might harm obese students because of stereotypes about body weight. This study uses data on freshmen's height, weight, and entrance channels from 2013 to 2019 (excluding 2016) from a private northern university to investigate whether stature is associated with entrance channel and General Scholastic Ability Test scores and is also associated with interview weighting in the evaluation scale. Using BMI to represent stature, this study did not find evidence suggesting that a high BMI is harmful when using the Application channel to enter college. Stature is irrelevant to the Application channel and verified in our DID model. Finally, we use the weight categories defined by the Health Promotion Administration: underweight, normal weight, overweight, and obese. Although the overall male student sample does not show that an Application with an interview is disadvantageous to the obese, the male application sample does show a lower probability of applying for admission through interviews.
