Applied to 8 schools, got 7 interviews, went on 6 of them. I currently have 3 acceptances, 1 waitlist and I'm waiting to hear from 2 schools.
 
Last year:

13 secondaries
1 interview = waitlist
1 incomplete for some really odd reason(long story)
5 rejections outright at the last possible minute (jan, feb or march depending on the school's deadline).
5 "on holds" then rejections- yuck.

This year:
1 rejection because I'm not WICHE (my bad).
1 secondary I ended up missing the deadline for because I moved and my mom sent it to my old address, so I guess 2 rejections.
1 interview (yay!).
5 I'm still waiting on, fingers crossed.
 
my status so far:

21 schools sent my AMCAS
17 completed secondaries (at my discretion, no rejections pre-secondary)
7 schools i haven't heard from at all
10 interview invites
8 interviews attended
2 waitlists (1 declined)
1 rejection
4 acceptances

it really does turn out to be a crapshoot, doesn't it?
 
17 applications
1 rejection post-phone interview
4 schools I haven't heard from
12 on-site interview invites
9 interviews attended
3 interviews declined
3 acceptances
1 deferred decision until March
5 waiting to hear from post-interview
 
August MCAT - Submitted stuff a little late (IE october)

15 secondaries submitted
7 interviews (4 complete 3 to go)
1 post secondary rejection (UNC...waste of money as OOS)
0 Acceptances (first chance to hear should be next week...fingers crossed)
6 schools are silent (oddly they are all privates...I've interviewed as an oos at a bunch of state schools)

Hope this helps
 
I'll play: 🙂

20 schools on AMCAS
20 completed secondaries
5 withdrawals after first acceptance
12 interviews offered (1 declined, 8 attended, 3 to go)
4.5 acceptances (1 has a strange acceptance procedure)

1 post-interview rejection
1 pre-interview "hold"
2 still waiting to hear
