85% get in their top 3 if you are a US grad. I believe this includes DO and Allopathic schools. I believe it changes significantly for IMGs and non-recent grads.
I think most places are finishing invites and now sending out clear rejections. A lot of you will be hanging without answers because strong applicants applying to 40 places will get 38 invites and can't do more than a dozen. So be good humans and get realistic about your interview trail and cancel interviews that you will not have the energy, time or money to go to so people can stop freaking out, and we can finish this dynamic process.
Applicants, if you are granted an interview in the second go around, don't be offended. Once invited you are on a fairly level playing field. Early invitees can schedule late and late invitees can jump in early. No one has the energy to keep track of when you were invited by the time selection committees meet to make decisions. An invitation is an invitation and this is a good thing. Never try and get into our heads and guess how much we like you. This is all about how much you like us and rank us that way. Keep it that simple or else you can only hurt yourselves.
