I applied for anesthesia but only 4 interviews. Do I have a shot at matching? Should I have some hope for future interviews? Thanks for the help everyone!

Yes you have a shot (see: NRMP charting outcomes of the match), but I wouldn't hope for more interviews. Your chances also depend on whether you are an US MD, DO, or FMG.

It only takes 1. I've met a few people over the last couple of years that only applied to between 1 and 5 programs and they all matched. Don't worry too much. Good luck!
