•you are completely wrong. every one of my friends that interviewed at yale was repeatedly told that it doesn't matter when you interview and they give no preference to those they interview early. also, you know nothing about yale; they send invites via email. the fact is that they actually DO pick out applications almost at random and see who gets interview. have you ever seen a med school admissions office? it's just a mess of applications all over the place. they give out a bunch to a bunch of different people, and depending on how fast that person gets through them, that determines who gets an interview when. it's not that the more desirable applicants get interviewed earlier; you go to any school and a large proportion of applicants will tell you that they interviewed in the spring and this year that proportion will definately go up.
even if you are trying to be blunt and helpful, we are not stupid. those of us frantically checking our email every other minute and hanging on to that tired, wavering bit of hope that tomorrow will be the day only to be disappointed EVERY SINGLE NIGHT FOR THE PAST FEW MONTHS•••
JEEEZ dude take it easy, you sound so bitter, you've gotten interviews at Pitt, Columbia and Cornell.....take it easy, it's not like your dream of getting into medical school has been crushed.....
