I'm getting worried since I haven't gotten any interviews yet. A plus is that my files have been complete for only 2 weeks but shouldn't I have heard from somewhere by now?

relax...some schools take 2 weeks to inform you, but most take a month at minimum to 4-6 months (especially UC schools--ugh!).
you're fine. chill.

yeah, dont worry too much about it. It has only been 2 weeks after all. I have been waiting for eons for the majority of schools to give me a reply...and still waiting as of now...anxiety turns into somewhat nonchalance. Good luck to you!

Nope it's gonna be a while. I either heard back from them within 2 weeks or I never heard from them again. I look forward to my two interviews and I wish I had more...but this way if I am accepted at one of the two I can make a more informed decision about which schools I want to spend my meager accounts visiting.
That's what I keep telling myself anyway. Gotta find the silver lining in the clouds raining all over my little party. 🙁

I did a search on "drexel interviews" and found a whole ton of threads from last year about people still not having interviews in January and even into March. That made me feel alot better and it helped to read other people's experiences. Especially since I know alot of those people did get into great schools MUCH later in the application season.

Here's one I found:

Give it some more time. I've been complete for 6-8 weeks at all of the schools that haven't sent me anything since the confirmation. You shouldn't expect to hear anything in 2 weeks, especially since we're nearing some application deadlines, meaning that they're dealing with a huge volume of applications now as opposed to earlier. After about 2 months, it may be time to start getting nervous and maybe even calling admissions offices to check your status, but don't worry about that yet.

I wouldn't start worrying yet. I know exactly how you are feeling. When I applied I didn't get my first interview offer until the beginning of November and my first interview wasn't until the middle of December. Everything about my application process seemed to be a lesson in patience. Unfortunately, you just have to wait it out. Good luck!

don't even worry about, you still got plenty of time ahead (i know that sounds dreadful). i was complete at the majority of my schools in late aug/early sept and i only received one interview invite. i'm waiting to hear back from 30+ schools right now, and still nothing. i talked to a lot of the schools and they said it takes time, usually a while for the committee to even review your app. keep your head up and fingers crossed, i'm sure you'll be hearing good news in the near future. best of luck!
