So according to @gyngyn in this forum: http://forums.studentdoctor.net/threads/what-is-the-ideal-premed-student.1162038/ half of interview slots have already been given out. I also checked Oakland and their interview tracker says 238/500 interviews have already been given....does anyone knows if this is true for the majority of schools?? It seems a bit early for 50% of interview slots to already be gone....

Hence the need to apply early

Majority of applicants should already have their applications submitted by this time, so I'm not surprised.

Your chances of an acceptance later in the cycle depends on the school and the strength of your application of course.

Yes. Couple that with rolling admissions and a late app becomes a death sentence for many.

At a lot of schools yes: NYMC, Tulane, OUWB. But for some schools probably not: Tufts has only given IIs to people complete before 7/17.

According to the UMichigan Admissions powerpoint (last updated 9/9), 341/528 of the projected IIs for this cycle have gone out (91/176 IS, 250/352 OOS). The actual tracker on their website says 354, though. But yeah, half of a lot of schools' IIs have gone out.

Great, I needed a reason to get my anxiety up!

Didn't even know interview trackers were a thing...which other schools divulge this information?

 

[Spector1]

yeah probably. It sucks

Michigan is the only one that I know of

 

[whitemagic]

Is this really surprising to anybody? I mean, we're almost into October. Did you guys expect 20% of the interviews to be given out at this point?

UA - Phoenix does but it has not been updated since 9/10.

well, this thread certainly is depressing....didn't realize just how slim my chances of getting an II are getting

 

[aesculapian]

At this point, how long after an application is marked as complete will it take for it to be reviewed for an II?

@Goro this is not correct for DO interviews correct?

 

[Goro]

Nope...it's a much longer cycle.

We know that most people are applying to MD schools first, and go for DO when they're shut out. We don't take it personally.

Wait... this means that 50% of IIs haven't gone out yet!
