Interviews for the rest of the cycle at top schools?

Does anyone know whether the other non-rolling (or rolling I guess) schools in the top-20 still are giving out interviews? How about UCLA/UCSF/UCSD (received and completed early secondaries for all three but since then have heard nothing). What does the cycle look like at the top schools from this point onwards, since so many of them are non-rolling? For context, LizzyM 75, MCAT>> GPA, very solid ECs, submitted secondaries in July/early August.

Is this a humble brag or what's your question? Because it seems like you already know the answer to your "dilemma".

First off, I never said this was a "dilemma" anywhere in my post, don't know where you got that from. What I'm trying to ask is whether I can reasonably expect that my cycle is done now, or whether it is possible and/or likely to get more interviews after this point. Many people on SDN have said that interview offers basically wrap up in November, but I haven't figured out whether that is primarily for rolling or non-rolling schools, and I also don't understand the II timeline for UC schools because they have screened secondaries. So no, I'm not humble-bragging, nor do I have any "dilemma" -- I'm just asking if anyone has any insight into what the rest of the cycle might look like.

The reason you come off the wrong way is because your question could have been asked with the bolded section below. Everything else is personal information that's pretty unnecessary and is similar to humble-bragging.

So I have been very fortunate and have received 4 top-10 interviews, and was accepted to my state school. Unfortunately, all of my top-10 interviews are non-rolling, so I am left twiddling my thumbs until Feb/March. Additionally, since early October I've had radio silence (save a rejection from Stanford) from all other schools. I applied to around 15 of the top-20 schools (will withdraw all of my mid/low tier apps if I happen to get an interview since I prefer my state school). Does anyone know whether the other non-rolling (or rolling I guess) schools in the top-20 still are giving out interviews?

Well I can tell you II from UCLA could really happen late in the cycle. Last year I completed my UCLA secondary really early and got the II in February. The interview occurred in early March, and at least four out of the eight applicants on my interview day (or interview morning?) got in. There is definitely still a lot of hope.

Thanks for your advice and being constructive unlike Lost in Translation: I edited my original post.

Hey, no problem! I apologize for not answering your question. I took a look at someone my friends' excel spreadsheets for their application year, and many of them received the bulk of their interviews after October. A specific friend attending a top 20 school right now had 80% of her interviews come in November and beyond.

There is no way it's finished. I would be 10x more stressed.
