freaking out....

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Since this is your third time applying, have you reached out to any schools specifically to see what they think would be best to improve your chances? If not, I would recommend calling and admissions counselor at some of the schools. They are very friendly and will pull up your application.

Don't be sad. I also applied to NYU, Columbia, BU, and haven't heard from them either. It's still pretty early apparently according to SDN, at least!

Lots of applicants get interviews during October-November.
My friend from last cycle received one August interview invite and dozens of interview invite during October and November, and he got lots of acceptances!
Don't worry if you are not getting any!
