Anyone else with no interviews? o_O

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
YA! I found a thread that I belong to!

NO interviews
submitted AMCAS 8/02/05
verified 8/23/05

Submitted 6 secondaries up to date... 11 more to do... waiting for Aug MCAT scores....

SIGH... so I guess I'm later than most of you guys!

Good luck to all!
 
ugh...why do I feel like I'm gonna be stuck in this thread for a long time?

Seems like most of the early submitters have gotten interviews....but not me 🙁

It only seems that way because the people who have invites already are excited and are posting about them. Lots of other people haven't been invited yet either, but most of them are not rushing to post that news. Hopefully you will get your first invite soon, but try not to worry; interviews will go on for the next six months. :luck: to you and everyone else who is hanging out in this thread.

Oh Q, you're always the most pleasant and reassuring SNDer 😍
 
listen.... you guys sound like you would rather get rejected then wait any longer lol. I applied to harvard... and they have yet to reject me, i'm going to live it up until they do 🙂. Lets enjoy the fact that they didn't say no... just for a little while. this way when we get an interview we're that much happier 😎 .

i have a 3.94 GPA from an ivy league school, 38 on the MCATs, plenty of teaching experience and even a few years in the army. I am sure my letters of rec are good also.

I submitted my apps in august and have yet to receive an interview.

like someone said, there are many of us without invitations, we just arent posting.

just breath and relax. think of positive things. 50 percent of applicants get in somewhere.

😉

Zzman, you're totally right. I applied to Harvard too and I think of it sort of as a lottery ticket - you have to pay some money but what you're buying is the dream, not the actual prize. Live thre dream while you can...UCSF... :drool:

😳 I know as well as anyone how hard it is to be patient, especially when it seems like everyone else on this whole forum is getting invited to a zillion schools (some people were even posting at the beginning of this month about having 11 or 12 interviews already!), and you are still waiting to get your first. But there are still lots of interviews left; invites keep going out every single week over a period of several months. After all, the schools can't logistically have every single one of their applicants interview on the same day or even in the same month, right? Somebody has to be the applicant who interviews later in the season! I agree with the posters who were saying that until you actually receive a rejection, you still have a chance. People go to interviews all the way through March, and so no news in September isn't necessarily bad news. If you're complete, and you haven't heard anything yet, then those schools are still considering you, and you still could get an interview. Keep reminding yourself of that whenever you feel kind of down about waiting. 🙂

Hey, that's sounds great, but I had a 3.96 GPA from UC Berkeley and a 34 MCAT, and I was part of the other 50 percent last year. Oh well, I got two interviews so far this year though, so we'll see.

Those are impressive stats. Can you think of any reasons why you were not accepted? ie bad interviews, poor ec's, didn't apply to many schools, etc. I'm curious to hear... thanks

I am still here.. getting scared. :scared: :scared:
 
Me, too flopotomist. I think we should take a hiatus from SDN. It seems as if a lot of my awesome friends here (with 37, 38 MCAT scores) aren't getting interviews, but they are happy and dandy. Things will come, it's a test of patience, really.
(Of course I tell myself that, and am on SDN within like a few hours..)
😱

Shortest. Term. Ever.


Congrats. 👍
 
No interviews here...sitting on a 33Q, 3.67, 3.63 BCPM, Stanford undergrad. Still filling out some secondaries, but been complete for most of the no-essay ones since September 15ish.

You'll be ok. It is so early to get scared. Some schools are just beginning interviews, still. Remember that the Aug MCATers don't have a chance at interviews yet (unless there's some weird exception) and they have a chance at getting in. So you're definitely still ok.

Good luck, it's really going to be ok. You're not out of the running at all!
 
I GOT MY FIRST INTERVIEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAY I have been complete at most schools since Middle of August-End of August and had not heard anything (except for all the possible interview invitations blah blah blah) and then today I got my first interview to UIC 🙂 Before now I was feeling so down about not having a single interview and reading SDN made me super paranoid. But this thread kept my hopes alive, that there were others out there like me. Now, I too will have to leave this thread, but just saying good luck to all of you, and you WILL get an interview soon 🙂 THink positive
 
Oh my God! This has got to be one of the best feelings!!!!!!!!! Thankyou NJMS!!!!!!
Seriously though, my application is pretty weak in terms of GPA, so for everyone there is a lot of hope! Good luck!
 
Massive congrats to both of you guys! Well done!
 
For those of you still without interviews, I highly suggest adding more schools before Oct 15th. Maximize your chances.

Thought about it, then realized that that would require money. I then realized I didn't have any. Oh well, applied to five schools, complete at three, haven't heard much. Freaking out over here for no reason whatsoever. I'm already planning on reapplying next year; crazy, huh? Anyone else here feeling inadequate?
 
First invite today from ALBANY!!!! sooooooooo excited. 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀
just a few days ago I thought i'd be stuck on this thread forever....

To those still here, have faith! yours is coming....just hang tight and support each other 🙂
 
My first interview invite! I'm out too! 😀

I was so not expecting this.

George Washington University!

And, no less, they are "thrilled" that I am interested in their program. 😉

Well done...Good luck in preparation for it!!!
I'm interested to know when you were complete at GWU?

Thanks. Yeah I've been reading the SDN interview reviews to prepare. Those got me through the past couple days without the SDN forums, but there are only 181 reviews for George Washington, so I was quickly running out of filler. So glad the crack forums are back!

I was complete 9/1 on GW, but I submitted my secondary way back on 7/8. I had a bit of a hold up with one of my letters of rec 😳 .
 
Still here... let's sing kumbaya or something.
 
Still here, too. Well at least we have each other. 😛

AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW I just read this thread to remember what applying was like, you guys are so cute. Don't worry about the interviews yet - I think I interviewed like way late, like Dec/Jan? And I'm a fourth year now.

Good luck and don't worry - oh and just think, in 4 years you get to do what we're doing on the residency thread which is REPEATING THIS ENTIRE THREAD/PROCESS :scared: It never ends, hold on yer going for a ride, only next time it will be ERAS instead of AMCAS +pissed+
 
You guys, just be patient. I opened the mailbox today and there was a letter from Drexel. I was like, jeeze, that was fast. I opened it and it was an invite!

yours will come.
