Hey guys, I applied mid July and have yet to receive any interviews. I have above average stats but I am not sure if it is my personal statement or something else. Is it still early for interviews or am I overthinking?

Thanks

Definitely overthinking, most state schools haven't sent invites yet, mostly private southern schools so far if you look on the official tracker. Take a breather and enjoy the rest of your summer!

What are your stats? You don't have a WAMC so we don't know if there is an issue, if you picked incompatible schools, or if your activities don't really fit the school mission. It is a bit early but those who have submitted their applications in the first month or so (I have to look at the tracker) are getting results, including R's and Holds. Silence/ghosting is also a response. Your time will come, and be careful what you wish for. 🙂

"Above average stats" huh?
Who did you ask for help? Did you have a prehealth advisor? Do you have a committee letter? How much networking did you do before applying? It would be nice if you filled out a WAMC template.

I'm not sure we can give you a definite answer because we don't know you, and there's nothing we have that suggests you have an issue with your application or not. I can't think of any answer that could allay your anxiety.

So relax, trust the process. But you are not entitled to an II no matter how high your stats are.
