LM 69 2 MD and 2 DO interviews. I’m about to go on my first MD interview this coming week and quite nervous as it’s my first MMI.

I’m starting to get a little concerned for interviews as I haven’t heard back from any school since the first week of September (complete in August). Anyone in a similar situation??

Feeling a little less confident than I felt October 14th, but still chugging along and hoping for good news!
LM 68, and WARS around the same. MD: 31 primaries, 30 secondaries, 8 interview invites, 2 attended.

2 waitlists from my attended interviews so far. I consider myself a pretty ok-good interviewer, so I'm either not as good of an interviewer as I thought OR my stats were low enough to keep me on just too low a step, according to LizzyM's staircase analogy. Either way, just trying to improve for my upcoming interviews and hope for good. Honestly, never expected more than 0-2 interviews anyways, so I am still very grateful.

LM 67... 3 MD II (of 9 schools), 1 DO II (of 5)... 1 MD & 1 DO acceptance. Attending an MD interview next week. Withdrew DO applications.

Went into the cycle thinking my chances of 1 MD II were probably about 50/50 and have been shocked and humbled. Feels like it’s so much less about numbers than I thought.
 
LM 69, only applied to 7 schools (all MD) and hoped for the best

Currently at 4 attended interviews with 1 acceptance!

Couldn't believe it- I think Texas really looks at applications holistically. Best of luck to all my fellow mid-stat brethren out there, you got this.
Yo that's super impressive! I don't think I've seen anyone with that ratio of secondaries to interview invites
 
LizzyM ~67

37 MD secondaries submitted
6 IIs, 5 IAs -->1 A, 2 WLs (counting Albany's "Under Consideration" as a WL)

To the PreMed adviser who told sophomore-year-me to find another career, plz help me carry all these IIs. I can't fit them all in my hands smh
Congrats thats amazing!
 
Getting nervous for my first MD interview as a lizzyM 67 applicant. Just keep telling myself that I already crossed the academic hurdle by getting the interview and now all I have to do is present my social skills! (Feel free to give words of encouragement because I could use it)
Be yourself, relax by talking to the other interviewees, and enjoy the day. I was nervous af before my first one (freaking MMI smh), but it was a lot less stressful than I thought. You got this! 🙂

trying to stay positive but would really love at least just 1 A to hold down my nerves about all these WLs
