So It's been almost a month since finishing my first secondaries (I'm still doing some more but I'm at 8 schools so far). I'm at a loss of what to do.

cGPA & sGPA: 3.51
MCAT: 32
Degree: Chemical Engineering

Heavy into research and shadowing. I've had several publications and poster presentations. I applied super late last year (Like...deadline day) and got a couple of interviews to good schools. Made a goal to get things in earlier this time around but haven't heard back for interviews.

Submitted Primary in late July...Got Secondary invites to all but 1 school around mid September...Started finishing Secondaries late September. Schools range from lower tier to mid tier (only 2 in top 30's for funzies). Still nothing on invites for interviews...anyone else in a similar boat? Put my mind at ease or make me feel worse, just tell me somethin!

What? You are a reapp and you are only submitting secondaries now? First off, the interviews may still be coming, but secondly, and more importantly, if you reapp again next year submit that ish FIRST day. You seem to have not learned your lesson from last time and it might hurt you again. I really hope you are messing with us here.

I submitted all of my secondaries late August -> late September. I still have yet to hear back from half of my schools. Just give them time 🙂

Also by good schools do you mean top/mid tiers? I have similar stats and major 🙂

Best of luck.

Patience is a virtue.

It's likely that many schools haven't gotten to your application yet.
But IMO, submitting secondaries in October should be considered a little late.
I submitted a secondary early October to a school last year that is known to roll fast and was told that it did not get reviewed until some time in November, at which point this school had little to no interview spots left.

Even with your great stats, it still has been less than a month, plus the late factor. I know a few people who applied around the same time with similar applications and didn't hear anything for a while (ended up getting acceptances to great schools, but not until Early January-February ish)

Wow thanks so much for your responses!

This is to be expected..especially at this time in the game.

I was complete at schools in early August and have had one II. Get prepared for a long wait.

Agreed. Also, I hope you did something different between applications.
