I know that most interviews will probably come in September and afterward, and lots of places haven't even started offering, but I'm just wondering how many interviews people generally are sitting on right now in the last week of August. Not where, just how many.

Also, how many interviews is considered to be a *safe* number ? I know that some ppl get in with only 1 interview and others do 8+ and don't get it, but I'm looking for a good average number. Thanks.
 
well, kudos for those with more than 5 interviews already 🙁 dang
 
It IS the internet....they could be lying for all you know.

Maybe everyone will shut the hell up since the majority of people have 0-1. I kid of course.
 
I would bet people with 5 live in Texas or NY because if you get invites from all your state schools plus a private or two, you're at 5 or more. I have 2 state schools and a private, not Texas or NY.

or your state doesn't have a dental school and you have to apply to some of the neighboring dental schools.
 
I've been invited to 4 interviews so far. Accepted 3 but still debating on going to the last. I applied to 6 schools, interviews and flying are getting so expensive! 1 in-state and 3 OOS. Good luck everyone!

I'm assuming you are not applying this cycle?
 
So far I've gotten five interviews. I've accepted four and pushed one way back into December. I'll probably just cancel that one.
One in state (the one I really really really want) Four OOS (I'll take it if it's what I get)
