Should I be worried? I applied to most of my schools in October and November yet I have only heard back from 5 schools. This just seems weird to me.

Without knowing where you applied and your stats, I cant say for sure but I wouldn't be too worried. Some schools still have interviews/ accept applicant until feb-march so I would say 1 of 2 things have happened. The 1st is that the majority of the schools you applied to are simply slower than others and offer interviews and acceptances later in the game, the 2nd is that you are a good applicant but maybe not the best so those schools have sent out interviews/acceptances and are waiting to hear back from people to deny acceptances to hand out more interviews ect. which will be when they contact you (basically its like being on the waitlist without the school telling you, which is annoying but I have a few schools who I know do it that way).

Best of Luck!
