Idk man the encouragement is nice but I have similar stats as well and there have been people with better stats than me too that received an interview. Some people just fit into a specific program and others do not

Edit: Just saw your above post. Your application is ridiculous man, no wonder you have so many interviews

No but the email said they have 2000 applicants for 15 out of state spots, so what can ya do. Also, I'm a white male and a friend who's a minority who I have better stats than, and who took dat 2 months into the cycle and thus applied two months after me got an interview from them. But it could always have been some random thing they didn't like in my app, who knows, it's all good.

lol pretending race doesn't significantly affect admissions

Really though, I'm sure white people got interviews OOS too, so it can't be used as an excuse. But pretending the outcome wouldn't have been different on the basis of race is silly.

You're right I shouldn't have implied that. Obviously schools have minority slots to fill so that affects things, nonetheless I don't want to take anything away from my minority friend who is a great applicant and deserves an interview. It was probably some bitterness on my part to have even implied that I didn't get an interview because I'm white, for which I apologize and appreciate you calling me on. Best regards.

I'm liking simply because of your level of class and not because I have social opinions.

Also, just a reminder to keep your head up. This process is brutal and it is inherit to the nature of this path to always try and be more competitive of a canident - part of that is critiquing all of the angles of where we succeed and where we don't (when others do). Not saying there aren't lines of craziness that can't be crossed, but just a friendly reminder not to be so hard on yourself.

(I'm still praying for an interview so I can at least understand my whatever short comings I have if I DONT get an acceptance. Otherwise, I'll be at a complete loss to grab at straws right with you. But, I'm going for "they somehow realized I uploaded all of the LORs for my professors" ;] )

Does no response mean rejection? I submitted batch 9/10? I've only got a response from midwestern arizona for waitlist interview and I'm getting worried
