Anyone also not getting many programs from "lower tier/ low midtier" programs, even if your Step is above their average? I'm wondering because my scores are not good enough for good schools, but it's above lower schools' scores, but still getting interviews has been tough, (even though people I know several w/ similar application, but lower scores, have gotten interview invites at those lower tier schools). Does anyone know why this might be the case? When I emailed the programs, I've gotten responses like "Sorry your application has been overlooked" or they didn't look at my application yet, even though I submitted earlier than many of my peers.. (could it be because i have a hard non english name??)
