2 interviews out of 16 schools applied to. I don't think my application process is going too well too, but I'm grateful for my 2 interviews.

I believe those 2 interviews were at schools where in my secondaries I .show how my experience and goals lend well to fulfilling and extending the mission of the schools. It's a pain doing the 2ndary essays, but that's where it made a difference for me..

..

i had the same experience. secondaries are the chance to highlight personal qualities that push an applicant beyond having average numbers in a competitive pool. definitely put in the quality time on secondaries and it will pay off 👍

This is my 2nd year applying, retook MCAT (25P) after applying last year and getting one interview at UT-Houston somehow 😉 (Probably only got that interview because I did research with them for 5 summers from high school to college). Obviously, did not get in but am enjoying my year off from school A LOT. Blessing in disguise... seriously, because I'm newly married (5 months!) and it's been great being at home and working and spending time with my new hubby!

I've gotten 3 interview invitations so far--
UTMB: received invite 10/28 for 11/13 interview
Tx Tech-Lubbock: received invite 11/12 for 12/4 interview
A&M: received invite 11/18 for 12/3 interview, but rescheduled to 12/10 because of Lubbock interview conflict.

SO... there is hope for those who applied late (me), have <30 MCATs (me), who have applied more than once (me), etc. Don't lose faith. I got that A&M invite TODAY... so they are still going out. 👍

Now I'm just hoping/praying for an acceptance What do you guys think, likelihood wise based on my stats/interview???
