I submitted my primary app at the end of September. Received 4 pre Dec interviews (2 were IS and 2 OOS) and 3 post Dec interviews. I did well in my interviews. On Dec 1, I got waitlisted in all 4. Post Dec interviews r all OOS and they r in late Jan. What r my chances of getting out off the waitlist pool? My GPA is 3.72 and bcpgpa is 3.6. I don't have enough money left to spend on flights and hotels in order to attend post Dec interviews. I wonder everyday what if I will be rejected from 4 pre Dec Interviews. Is it possible to have a such bad luck?

Trust me I feel your pain. I had 4 pre-dec interviews and got waitlisted at 3 and rejected at 1. Thought three of my interviews went pretty well too. I have no post-dec interviews, so at least you got that going for you. Hopefully 2017 bring us some good luck and we both make it off 1 waiting list.
 
I think your chances of getting into at least one of the 4 are pretty decent. But if you REALLY want to go to those post-Dec interviews then try a loan from your bank or apply for a credit card now so you get it in time to figure out travel.

I think you'll be fine, but if you'd like some motivation, read this:

Follow everyone else's advice and try to get the money for your post-December interviews. If you end up reapplying, you wouldn't be the first or last person to do so.
