5 MD interviews with 0 acceptances, all waitlists/deferrals thus far into the cycle. Is this normal for someone who eventually gets accepted? Should I expect to get off a waitlist at all? Thanks in advance

It’s hard to say without knowing your stats. Are you above average or below average? A school wouldn’t invite you if they had no intention of accepting you, but there are still tiers to students that they invite. An amazing interview can help overcome a weaker applicant just like an average interview can lower a strong applicant. So it’s hard to say. Getting waitlisted at 5 of 5 interviews is not “normal” though, but your chance of moving off of one of those 5 is pretty good since you have so many opportunities now

My stats are 3.85 gpa and mcat is 511. Have plenty of experience, some publications. I didn't feel that confident in any of my interviews

I recommend working on interview skills.

Mardi Gras is early this year (February 13th) and generally I say that you can't worry about not having an offer until after Mardi Gras. I'd even let the clock run until Leap Year Day this year (2/29) and then start to worry. Lots of offers go out in February.

I had 5 IIs and 5 WLs last cycle. I got off one of them. But I love my school and it all worked out. Hang in there and know that this internet stranger is cheering for you.

Stats wise you’re definitely competitive! If more interviews come your way then be sure to portray confidence during your interviews. I know it can be easier said than done, but it really is important. You’re intelligent and have worked hard, you deserve to be here. So there is no reason for you not to portray that confidence to the admin committees. But you have good chance for movement off one of your 5 waitlists, so stay hopeful. Best of luck

We don't have a WAMC on you (you deleted it), but 5 WLs is great. I guess just wait and ...
