lol, you guys don't give up. I neither said there will be no more interview invites nor said all interviews from now on are for waitlist positions. I'm just saying the interview invites that do come out from now on are the exception at most places. Obviously, nothing is absolute and you can't apply this to every school.
I'm just trying make you guys be prepared for the worst scenario. Your back-up plan at this point, if you have not received an interview invite or an acceptance, is to start preparing for the next cycle. If you really want to wait until the end of January, then fine. I wouldn't hold on to slim chances any longer than that, though.
For me, I know my MCAT is the weakest part of my application. I have no reason not to start re-reviewing for it now because, in the case I don't get in, I want to have a new score returned and ready for AMCAS submission by early June. If I do get in, then I'll probably be going into med school with a fresher mind on MCAT material than most lol, too bad that won't help jack for med school.
