Nice. When's your interview / how many days before December seem to be available? Also how many schools did you apply to if you don't mind me asking?

Thanks! Im scheduled for 10/27, and I don't know how many days are available. I just know that they do it every Fridays and they began sending invites...around mid/late September? I applied to 9 schools. Maybe the entire November is still free? 😛

Can anybody tell me what the NYU secondary is like? Is it on the AADSAS or a separate application? I'm asking because the website makes it sound like you simply pay $80. What are some statistics about this school? I know the class size is huge and the tuition is outrageous, but are there instate vs out of state stats? What about GPA and DAT? I'm on the low end(3.2 and 18) but I work full time year round, have amazing clinical experiences, volunteer experiences as well as several leadership roles. Should I bother adding NYU to my application? Help!

For this cycle or next cycle?
 
Curious if anybody has heard which schools (if any) are still sending out pre December interviews? I’ve had interview invites from 4 of the 13 schools I applied to but have heard nothing (positive or negative) from the other 9. I’m very thankful for the interviews I have but am curious if anybody knows if I should expect to hear from any others.

It’s on AADSAS. It’s like 3 or 4 mini essay questions.

So I’ve received two interviews so far, and I’m still hoping to hear back from one school that hasn’t sent out any invites yet. After that school sends out invites should I be done expecting interview invites for the cycle? I applied everywhere mid June, with a couple supplements a little late in August. Also, if that’s the case should I be worried about whether or not I’ll get into any school since two isn’t too many? Thanks!
