I am a bit nervous about my chances at getting into any school at this point. I've so far been offered 5 interviews however due in part to negligence on my part in not informing all of the schools of my unique situation coming from a school without grades, and in part to longer than usual review times for my application from schools, I only had two interview before december. Now I have an interview at Temple coming up and western in about a month. Is it worth it at this point to continue to go to interviews? My DAT scores were decent enough but I just think without having a numeric grade a lot of schools have been hesitant with my application. I'm just curious if spots are still really available at this point at most schools?
 
The obvious answer is OF COURSE spots are still available. Why would they be giving you interviews if they weren't still interested in seeing what other kinds of students are out there? What kind of loss is it for you if you go to the interview? You'd lose out on more if you didn't go!

There are definitely people in my current class who had Jan/Feb or even later interviews. So just go to the interviews, if you can!
 
The fact that they gave you an interview suggest that they understand where you are coming from. However, if you have not received any acceptances yet, go to any interviews that you can. Also when it comes time for questions or other comments at the end of your interview, mention your problem and ask how it would impact your application and your chances of being accepted into the school.
 
They must've known that your classes weren't numerically graded if you went through AADSAS and had transcripts sent to it... with that said, they are interested in you and your DAT must be sufficient enough. Don't doubt yourself - be excited!
