My thought exactly. May be most schools are already done handing out pre-dec interviews? I hope not.. 🙁

Guys, one of my state schools is giving me a chance! YAY!
I have been so worried about my application, and this has made me feel immensely better.

I applied in the first batch and it has taken me a LONG time to get an in-state interview! 🙂 😀 Both of my state schools have been sending them out for a while. It's hard not to be worried and assume the worst when it takes such a long time, you know?

I've been checking my email every 5 minutes for three and a half months now, and still nothing! I turned in my AADSAS application on 29 June and it was mailed out on 19 July. Other than the "rejection" from Ohio State (not getting an interview invite before 2 October) I've heard absolutely nothing. Does that mean I'm done?

I don't think it means your done...you may just get a later interview. Your DAT scores are pretty good, your GPA is lower average. My GPA is about the same as yours, and my DAT is a lot lower, but I applied in October last cycle and I got 3 post-dec. interviews (waitlisted) and this year by applying to about 20 schools. I think it's all about researching your school selections and applying broadly. (i.e. ECU only accepts NC residents, and for Puerto Rico I believe 4 semesters of spanish are required ). PM me if you want to know which ones I interviewed at. Best of luck!!!

Hey man, I was in the same situation with Lecom, but the matter was straightened out. As for Buffalo, the school was kinda slow to process my application, I submitted everything by July 26th, and did not hear anything from them until last week. It was a continue reviewing email. I was depressed again. I guess I will give them a call to find out why. These continue reviewing messages are tough to handle..🙁 but it is what it is. I heard that for some guys, things turn around and they got interview later. But it is what it is.....for the rest of the 15 schools I applied to, not a single peep 🙁...so you are not alone in this man. Hang tight

Thanks man. Good luck to you too. December just cant come quick enough.
