Getting quite concerned about my chances for this cycle...

Hello all, looking for a little bit of advice and maybe some reassurance/tough love.

Didn't get in anywhere on the 1st. I had two interviews at Iowa and Southern Illinois (state school) in October, and just had one last week at UIC (though they said I wouldn't hear back until January). I haven't heard anything from Michigan, Indiana, MWU-IL, Marquette, or Creighton. My status at Iowa and SIU didn't change at all--just says that the admissions committee is still reviewing my application.

I plan on calling SIU and Iowa on Monday and inquiring about my status, but at what point should I begin getting legitimately concerned about getting in anywhere for this cycle? I really hope that I haven't screwed myself over by underapplying/applying to late (mailing date wasn't until late August).

3.85/3.82 GPA, 21 AA/20 TS/19 PA, with pretty good ECs but no research, for the curious. Thought that interviews went well at all three places, but, then again it's hard to judge them.

Any steps I should definitely take that would be helpful? Thanks for any insight you can provide.

Edit: Just opened the mailbox and got the "Hold" letter from Marquette. Not good.

i'm also in your position man

4 interviews, but no luck

i can tell you indiana and marquette are done with the cycle (i also got the hold letter today), i think MWU-IL will send out january interviews later
i am also from illinois and have UIC this week
i called SIU already and they said there's no waitlist for interviewers, just they review applications again after december. all she can tell me is that my file is under review, and half the class is filled

im hoping for the best

I'm not sure what you mean by them being "done", but I know Indiana is still giving out post-december interviews. Maybe call them and ask where you stand?

well I'm considering withdrawing from SIU in favor of going to UIC so maybe that'll speed the waiting list along a little in your favor 🙂
