I had one at Kentucky on Oct. 2, and have one scheduled at Louisville on Nov. 7.
Good luck, you guys will be getting interviews soon.

Submitted 7/6. Not yet verified. All secondaries returned (9) but still waiting to hear anything from #10, Stanford. No interviews yet.
AMCAS submitted 7/7
Committee letter received by schools 9/17
Had both my in-state (FL) interviews this past week. Had a great time at both!
I have a theory to propose on the subject of interview selection...
31 (9,11,11) 3.85 Math/Chem major
was good enough to get early interviews in-state, but I think the schools I'm applying to out of state (all 31+ averages) are going to wait until they interview the bigger numbers that have submitted thus far and those from the August test before trickling down to me. I'm willing to hear any justifiable support/rebuttal 😉

I just finished my 3rd and final interview (only applied to three schools). Now the waiting begins...
Mine were:
UT Houston - 9/14
Baylor - 9/21
UTMB - 10/12
I submitted AMCAS on 7/5, and TMDSAS on 7/7. AMCAS is still not verified, but Baylor went around them.

UIC MD program (done on 10/10) I really didn't like it.
Still have UCSF, U of Wisconsin, and U of Michigan in November. All three are MSTP interviews. Really excited about these ones.
I submitted on 7/20 but haven't seen a thing. I've just given up hope on AMCAS. All the schools I am applying to except for Stanford are accepting unverified apps. So, I guess I may just have to give up my hopes of going to school on the farm :-(

9 so far...
5 in texas- ut houston, tx. A&M, galevston, tech, san antonio
4 AMCAS- Baylor, Tulane, GW, and U Chicago
Tx. interviews everyone really early and plus you get an acceptance to only 1 school (its a match process), so even though my total # of interviews seems high, it is actually a bit inflated...also, im denying tech, so that makes 8 that im actually going to so far...
good luck everyone- they're rolling in everyday... 🙂

Got my third yesterday!
U of Florida 10/5
U of South Florida 10/8
U of Chicago 10/25 or 11/1 or 11/8
waiting to see if Northwestern will interview me in the same week. I kinda feel greedy.. i get one awesome school to offer an interview and the same hour I am calling another one asking for an interview 😉
..my theory still holds about the numbers. My U Chicago secondary was sent in July and many were interviewed by the time they got to mine, so we'll see how this turns out.

i think your theory is the way it's actually done, especially at schools that put more of an emphasis on numbers from the get-go. first the stats superstars get the interviews, and as time goes by, once there are no more superstars, schools interview the people with lower stats as they try to fill their classes and their waiting lists. so this is why this thread is really more of an ego boost than anything for those with lots of interviews, because interviewing early just means that your numbers may be pretty good, but it doesn't necessarily reflect your chances for admissions. so those without a lot of interviews, don't fret!! interviewing goes on until april/may! 😀
Yep 🙂

right now I'm at 12 invites, but I think that I'm going to start cancelling them pretty soon, 'cause it's having an incredibly bad impact on my grades. (I think that some of the schools will be notifying us as soon as Monday 🙂 ) and if I'm in somewhere in any of my first interview schools, I'll definitely think very hard about cancelling some of my unconfirmed invites.
still haven't met any other SDN'ers after 7 interviews... where are you guys?

I'm in a somewhat similar situation. The thing that really irritates me is that most of these schools WILL NOT allow you to reschedule until next year. I'm getting to the point now that if the school wont reschedule for next year, then I'm giving them an AUTOMATIC rejection, and I'll tell them that right over the phone too 😀
I'm graduating in December, and it would be incredibly nice to deal with some of these interviews after classes are over. My GPA is definitely going to slip this semester. I know, its no big deal at this point but I've worked very hard to keep it up high and now basically at the last minute before graduation its frustrating to see it drop. The class material itself is not that hard, but at some point it becomes very hard to do well in classes when you are never there because of interview trips.
I didnt correctly anticipate the amount of planning some of these trips require. Its not like you can just set up everything in 30 minutes over the internet and be done with it. And then theres the MD/PhD aspect at some of these schools which basically DOUBLES the amount of time I would usually be gone from class due to an MD only interview.
OK, done ranting. Good luck to all you guys. Coming thru this process I'm not nearly as intimidated by these schools as I was before this stuff began. I have a little less awe for these schools, even the big hot shots out there.
Interesting point. The new tootsie roll question: "How many threads are needed to say the exact same thing in different ways?"
Recent Thread Subjects Include:
- What Secondaries/Interviews have you completed?
- Schools Requesting Interviews
- What Interviews Have you Gotten?
- How many Interviews so far?
I can understand one, but aren't all these just variations of each other, with the same people posting in different ways? Kinda funny actually. And yes Trek, you can say that, as long as you don't do it, or heaven forbid, make me have a mental image of it. Oops, too late. 😳 😉
