Am I right to be freaking out, I have only heard from 1/16 schools and am getting really frustrated. I read in some other thread that the interview invites really slow down after October first...:( I'm starting to think the schools I applied to were to ambitious At least I got one...

I feel your pain. I applied to 15 schools......so far have been invited & did interview at only 1 (Tennessee). What gets me is I have an earlier mail out date than some people who already received interviews (with comparable stats) to a few of my schools. Go figure. I guess it just depends on which committee member happens to read over your file that day.

Long time lurker, but finally decided to create an account! I'm an example of mediocre stats made up for with deep involvement in EC/leadership/community service! This is my first time applying and I honestly thought I would be lucky to even get one interview. Currently have 1 rejection (NOVA) and 2 interviews. Waiting to hear back from 10 more schools. Don't give up, we are all gonna make it! Good luck, everyone :)

Thanks! But numbers definitely aren't everything. They have helped me get in the door, but I'm definitely not the perfect applicant. Everyone here is really supportive, committed to the field, and offers unique experiences and perspectives.

Texas schools are not out of state friendly, so I wouldn't bother applying there. LECOM and Nova would both be good choices. Look at private schools like tufts, creighton, NYU, Midwestern AZ and IL, Roseman and others. Most private schools aren't picky on residency.

Are you VA resident? VCU is not your top choice?
I am waiting for VA and MD. My top two choice, but not looking too good!
VCU is still reviewing and MD I heard is more selective in picking intervewees.

VCU is still reviewing and MD I heard is more selective in picking intervewees.
Is MD Maryland ? And VCU didn't give me an interview the 2 previous cycles, and it's not looking good this cycle. They seem to be super picky
