Official 2015-2016: Oh no, I don't have a single Interview Invite thread!

Discover Your Odds of Getting into Medical School
This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
To clarify, the school must have either wait listed or accepted you to see the information that is being released tomorrow, and all they will see is your other acceptances. So for many of us on here with one or more waitlist and no acceptances, the school(s) that waitlisted you will now know that you have no other acceptances.
 
You guys, I was just waitlisted at RWJMS. This is my top choice and it's so freaking humiliating because I really thought I did my very best 🙁

I know the feeling. Also, they WL'd you at 7:30 at night? That's savage. Don't worry about it, you already have an acceptance, just forget about them.

thanks so much! thanks to everyone in this thread, you guys have gotten me through this cycle! i don't know if it'll work out for me this cycle, but i'm ready to give it another go next cycle. i thought the school i'm waitlisted at was an absolutely perfect fit, but we'll see. i'm holding out hope for them next cycle if it doesn't work out this time 🙂
 
Recently rejected from FIU and RWJMS.
4 schools left - FAU, Rutgers NJMS, UCC (Puerto Rico), Rowan (DO) still no interviews.
*plays violin*
 
Wondering how long Downstate will be sending II's until? Anyone know or hear anything? @trini818 when were they scheduling until?
 
Can anyone show me where I can find the date where applicants need to finalize their decision on where they're going? For example, for someone who has more than 1 acceptance, he or she needs to choose which school by a certain date

April 30th.
 
@chocolate23 Don't worry, you're not alone. I don't have any interviews either 😡, and I really thought this was my year. I'm only keeping the anxiety at bay by applying to postbacc programs...
 
I found this in the NC thread...some dude Oldpremed...he posted this yesterday..

I got the call today! Words really can't describe. I had lost all hope. In fact when I got a call from an NC number I didn't even pick it up. Got an alert hours later with a voicemail from Dr. Woodard. Needless to say unc was my top choice. Still hasn't really sunk in yet but maybe I just need to sleep on it. Interviewed back in Novemeber.

To all you guys waiting, this is for you. This is my fourth time applying. Never give up. Never settle.
 
I had a dream last night that I got an email from UIC saying that I had an emergency "re-interview" in 15 minutes. So I had to run to some conference room and they yelled at me for wearing jeans and a sweatshirt. Then they told me to leave and I got rejected. Then I woke up and checked my portal at like 4 AM. Still "decision pending."

How awful. Hate, waking up like that. My dreams have been nuts this week too...

3.83 GPA, 31 MCAT, applied between July and August. Waiting to hear from 20 schools. What is the issue here? My ECs, LORs, etc. are all good. I don't understand what went wrong.

My first post on this thread. Back when I was a naive banana tadpole, trying to escape boredom during a Physical Chemistry lecture.

did you ever pinpoint what was wrong with your app?

Well, I wrote that before I had any interviews at all, and I thought there was something blatantly offensive about my application. Like my essays were god awful, or a professor secretly flamed me in a letter of recommendation, or something like that. Now that I've had four interview invites, I don't there's anything wrong with my essay per se...I just think that there's not really a compelling reason for somebody to accept me. Yeah, I have a good GPA and an average MCAT, and I've done the things that people are supposed to do in order to get into medical school, but there's really nothing that would make somebody say, "Wow, we should definitely accept this guy." I think my application reads more like, "Yeah, this guy is basically fine and he'd probably be a decent student, so let's just interview him in case the great people decline our acceptances."
 
I'm sick of getting SO EMBARRASSED when I have to tell people I got rejected after my interview and am gonna reapply next year. Seriously nO ONE gets how hard this is until they actually do it. It's easy to feel like a great, qualified individual until you apply for med school. Damn.

You got straight-up rejected after an interview? What school? (And sorry, that really blows).
 
UWash. Granted I'm usually a very charismatic person but was sort of a damn nervous wreck during that interview, definitely could have used a redo.

It's honestly the worst feeling getting rejected after an interview. My first interview that happened and I was so unbelievably sad and embarrassed and thought something was completely wrong with me
 
I don't mean to sound overly dramatic (I'm pretty sure I will) but it honestly was startling and made me question a lot of things about myself. I've been told my whole life how charismatic/warm/likeable I am so to get straight up axed on something that is based majorly on these skills was disheartening and I'm just trying to stop replaying the interview in my head because now it feels like I've created a memory of it that's much more embarrassing and horrifying than it probably was....I seriously wanted to apologize as I was leaving and be like I SWEAR THAT WAS A HUGE MESS ASK ANYONE THAT KNOWS ME

Sometimes when we're put in such a high stress situation (even if the actual interviews aren't stressful I put a lot of pressure on myself haha) then it doesn't go well 🙁 I didn't even think my interview went badly.. I mean I thought it went okay but not bad enough to be rejected..oh well it's been months since it happened for me so I've come to terms with it, but right when it happened was probably the worst part of the application cycle for me, I just layed in bed crying all day haha
