I was complete at most my of schools (25) throughout the month of August. LizzyM ~71 but still no interview invitations at this point in the cycle and just 2 rejections thus far. The only positive feedback I've gotten so far is a couple of secondaries from screening schools in UCSF and UCLA. Is it a waste of money to add a few more schools this late?
 
At 5,000 applications per school, 6-8 weeks for processing (which may not be done in a linear fashion), isnt very much time. I think, like most applicants, you are panicking and trying to think of some action to take. The only action really is wait.

Yeah that's a pretty accurate assessment of my current state of mind lol...it's just difficult to sit idly hoping that you haven't been silently rejected everywhere.
