Starting to feel very nervous... HELP

Here is the situation: invites have began to pop up and I still have not received one and I'm starting to feel nervous. I can not stop thinking that I should apply to more schools...
I only applied to schools on the east coast and now I am thinking about adding a few on the other side..

My stats (aadsas verified with +/-)
Cgpa- 3.47
BCP gpa- 3.3
Sgpa- 3.15
AA 20/ TS 20/ PAT 22/ RC 22/ QR 16.../ Ochem 22/ gchem 22/ bio 18
My EC's:
bio research
lots of dental experience- about 500 hours, a paid assisting job, an ortho internship, MOM project, lots of shadowing
good LORs
big upward trend in gpa

These are the schools I have applied to:
VCU- (in state and I really want to go here!! and I saw they started giving out interview invites already and I did not receive one 🙁 )
Maryland
Buffalo
Temple
CASE
Midwestern Il
NYU
Louisville
UMDNJ
NOVA ( already rejected!!!)
Tennessee
LECOM

I applied to the top 8 in the second batch and the last 4 in the sixth batch.
So what do you guys think? I know half of these schools have not began giving out interview invites but I am getting super worried and paranoid and I know it is all SDNs fault. If I was a doctor I would diagnose myself with SDNitis. I am always on here, I probably read like 90% of the threads. And after I finish reading everything on pre-dental I switch to DAT discussions.

Some schools I was thinking about: Roseman, Arizona, Nevada, Detroit Mercy
Is it worth applying to more schools at this point (end of august)?

Please offer some advice. I wish my Sgpa was like .2 higher, I would feel a whole lot better.
Thanks for any feedback guys, I really appreciate it.

haha you literally just described me to a T... same DAT scores, similar GPA's (yours is a little higher), constantly checking email and SDN... I applied to 17 schools (many are the same as you), but my DAT scores haven't been received yet (should be uploaded tomorrow I'm thinking, because it has been 2 weeks since I took it)... I think we should just be patient and interviews will (hopefully) come... I would say that if money isn't an issue, maybe consider applying to a few more schools just to increase your chances, but overall I think you should be fine! I think the most important thing for us all to do is to just chill out...

Dude I got the same DAT averages but higher GPA and still no invite. App became complete on 8/3. Do you go to school in northern Virginia?

Not to brag, but below are my stats. Application mailed 7/6, DAT mailed 7/20, All schools have confirmed they have my completed application and I've not gotten anything back from a single school.

It just takes time I guess. If not, and if I'm actively being ignored by schools, can't do much about that either. Just be patient and hopefully tomorrow will be your day. And remember brah, go with Christ.

3.7 oGPA, 3.55 sGPA
24/24/23 AA/TS/PAT
500 hrs volunteering
500 hrs research + 1 publication
200 hrs dental shadowing
2 years working as a full time academic tutor
2 orphanages opened in Africa

10 Schools applied to
0 interviews so far.

Schools are like girls playing hard to get. Dude did you really open up orphanages or am I that gullible?

Click on the link and enjoy the hilarious video someone posted up here a while back!

Considering how crazy people on here are, it really wouldn't surprise me if there were a couple people who'd done something insane like opening up orphanages!
