I just want to know if anyone else is in my situation; I received 4 interview invitations in August (all within a week from each other).

Since then: 1 rejection (pre-interview) 1 hold.

The other 11 schools - absolute silence.

I know I'm very fortunate to have received 4 interview invites, but I'm worried that there may be something wrong with my application - it's been almost 3 months since my last invite.

Anyone else is this situation?
 
yessir/ma'am. i got 6 in august and my other 9 schools have yet to say anything. eerily quiet and disconcerting but hold tight...some of the students i met at my interviews said the same thing happened and they got interviews later in the winter. just a strange process overall. good luck to you!
 
same here. about 3 months of silence. They send II through january so i'm just trying to be patient.
 
Well, its good to know that I'm not alone in this! Talk about a crazy process...

Good luck to us all!
 
I have a friend in that situation.
He has everything EC wise. (EMT, volunteering, pub, research, tutoring etc)
Has not heard a peep from anyone except Baylor in August
His stats: 3.7/33
He applied to all tx schools and top tier schools
He is so bummed...
So, it's not just you

not a peep from schools for about 3 months.
 
Yep, last II was in Sept. and I just got one yesterday. So that's about 2 months. I'm sure another wave will be happening since schools will start to re-review apps they put on hold.
 
My last II (6 total) was in late August. Since then its just been all rejections 🙁
 
If they are going to reject me, I want them to reject soon. I hate waiting in the dark.

Do you think most IIs are gone now (or almost gone) for most schools?

Agreed...the waiting game is the hardest part.
 
I would love to know how many IIs are left
 
I received 4 in August and got one more last week. But there have been cases of people receiving invitations to interview as late as March who still got in, so it's not impossible that you might receive some more. Your interviews are from some pretty nice schools though.

I know...I really don't understand this process...
 
Only one II so far, back in october (6 rejections). Was complete at most schools by early october. The waiting is definately a nerve wracking process, but I keep saying to myself that silence means that we are still in the consideration process.
Over the holidays especially, the waiting is pretty annoying.

I got a few IIs in September. Since then, it has been complete silence 🙁🙁 from another 12 schools I am waiting on.
 
Yeah. I was getting down about the sharp drop in the number of interview invites. It was about 3 months as well until I received another one. That was less than 2 weeks ago. Not sure if the interview invites will continue, but it's nice to know they are still looking at my app.

Why does this mean that something is wrong with your application? Given that you've received interviews from 25% of the schools you applied to, doesn't it stand to reason that, in fact, there is nothing inherently wrong with your application? If there is, four schools not only neglected to notice, but also liked your application enough to invite you to interview.
 
I wouldn't worry much at all about this OP; have you gotten into any of the 4 schools you interviewed at? I got a huge burst of IIs in August and September, but it has been much slower since then-- 1 interview invite about every 3 weeks from October to Thanksgiving and none since then. I'm sure this is normal for all of us that I applied on the earlier end of the cycle. Also, I'm optimistic that more IIs will happen in the next couple of months since I'm still in the running at some schools where other applicants have already been rejected pre-interview such as Rochester, Cincy, and GW.
 
Same here. I've gotten 3 IIs so far, with the last being in October. The strange thing is that I haven't heard anything from the other schools at all..no rejections or holds or anything.

you'd think that mass rejections are coming soon. they have to run out of interview spaces soon.
