Freaking Out About No Interviews

Members don't see this ad.

I have no MD interviews but have been complete at most of the schools ive applied to for about month now.... Not sure if this is going end bad for me again. I am not a very good writer so I am starting to think my secondary essays are whats causing me to get cut from all these schools.

I have a 3.5 cum, 3.6 sci GPA and 3.9 MS GPA.
I have taken the mcat multiple times and my latest score was a 32 p13v8b11.
My ECs I think are pretty strong. I am a re-applicant and I have gotten involved in more volunteering and community service in my time since my last application in 2012.

I applied to all the lower tier schools and some mid tier reach schools and have been verified since 6/29. I was thinking I would have at least one interview by now....

freaking out

Any advice?

This. Granted, may is late.

Worry in mid October (as an early applicant) Until then, chill.

For those of you submitting late, worry after January.

Man I wonder if the 50,000 applicants AMCAS hasn't verified yet should be worried

It's too early. There's no need to panic right now. Many schools have sent out ZERO invitations.

This is a marathon, not a sprint. Don't worry unless you haven't any interviews by Halloween. (Oct 31). That's ~10 weeks from now! Relax, read a book or two, binge watch a TV show on Netflix, train for & run a 5K, or othewise enjoy yourself and take your mind off of this process.

I like how the AAMC is this overarching organization that controls the whole process, but schools are largely left to do whatever the hell they want e.g. Drexel waiting until the last goddamn minute to send out their secondaries, schools doing silent pre-interview rejections, schools with a half dozen statuses, etc. I could not imagine a bigger cluster**** than the applications process -- so much stupidity, arrogance, and inefficiency.
