Do late interviews mean lesser chance of getting in? I have to pick a date for an interview at Albert Einstein, but I can't go until the end of march. Would that affect my chances?

In general, the sooner the better. It's a number game, isn't it? But for AECOM, I'm not sure it matters that much any more at this point. They probably already interviewed 1000+ people. I just got an invitation from them and will go there in a couple of weeks.

i don't know the particulars for albert einstein, but interviewing in late march will likely hurt you at a lot of schools. is there any way you can schedule one earlier? maybe you can call the school and ask if your chances will be much less if you interview then.

wow! 1000+ people??! I thought each medical school only interview about 500 students!

Yep. There are a few schools like that. They prefer to go through the trouble of talking to 1000+ people before they are willing to hand out their seats. Namely, Georgetown, GWU, AECOM...... Most schools keep their sanity intact by interviewing 500-600....😉
