Does anyone have any idea how many interviews you need to have to pretty much get into one of them? I have 4 interviews already but my stats are average so I wonder if I will need more to have a "security blanket"? Any thoughts on this would be great. thanks🙂

I think if you have good people skills...then your pretty much set. however, i had a friend who got like 5 interviews last year and got rejected by everyone of them almost immediately after the interview ended. Its safe to say she does not have the "people skills" neccessary...Anyway, wow 4 interviews? what are your stats, when did you apply, and which schools? gl 🙂

How on earth could anyone possibly answer that question? There's no magic interview to acceptance ratio...just do your best at each interview. All you really need is one.

Thank you Envision, I have a 3.65 gpa and a 18 on the dat, but I think all my other stats like leadership, experience is what is getting me interviews. Who knows. I have interviews to Nova, Temple, Arizona, and Buffalo. Anyway good luck

It's probably your GPA too. A 3.65 is pretty high and your DAT score is slightly above average. How early did you apply?

I applied the end of May.

I wouldn't say the language thing is a disadvantage compared to inexperience as I remember self-destructing during my first ever interview. As long as you're confident and take time to think about how you can get your point across.. should be no problem.

You'll be fine. Just stay relaxed and have a positive mind. Mostly importantly, always have a smile on your face!
