So far, I have received 3 interview offers to Michigan State, Western (Pomona) and Kansas City, I was wondering if anyone with experience can share with me the likelihood of being accepted after attending II?

I'm asking this b/c the flight and accommodation to KCU is very expensive for me and I need to cut back quite a bit in order to afford it, so I am thinking on cancelling the interview however I am also afraid of being reject post interview from the other interviews. I appreciate if someone can share their experiences with dilemmas like this

Thanks

I don't know if there is any resource that can actually tell you percentages of students accepted compared to students offered interviews for DO schools. I think most MD schools range from 20-50% of interviewed students being offered an acceptance.

Are you a good interviewer? Do you want to go to KCU?

I would probably not recommend withdrawing your app; you never know how these things will go, and advice from others about acceptances following interviews is anecdotal.

Kcu has a pretty high post interview acceptance rate.

Getting accepted is 100% on you.
It's the height of hubris to think that you will be accepted at the other two schools first.

Not really a dilemma - accept and attend all interviews until you have an acceptance in hand!

So much this. I went to interviews at schools till I got that acceptance. It turned out to be my top choice, however it's not always going to happen that way.

You might get an acceptance at another school, sit on the wait list at number one until June. You cant tell.

Thank you very much for all the advice. Taking everything to consideration, I think I will still attend the interview!
