I interviewed at two Texas schools in August, and haven't heard a peep from anywhere else except for a Dell secondary in September and a confirmation email from UTRGV. Half of me has started thinking that my first two interviews were the result of a clerical error.

Has anyone else been in this situation, and how did it turn out? FWIW, LizzyM ~71 by TMDSAS calculations (very much a splitter, though).
 
You didn't display enough swag.
 
Asking why you have received nothing else seems like you feel entitled to more interviews when in reality you, nor anyone else, really is. Be happy with your two IIs with a 3.0ish GPA. There are plenty of people with better stats and no IIs.
 
When did you apply and where did you interview at? Have you applied to any schools out of state?
 
Where were your first two interviews at?
UTMB and A&M

fact is your GPA is holding you back. you'll have to give it time and wait it out. good MCAT but the gpa will not make you a 1st round pick
That was a transcript calculation. TMDSAS actually puts me a fair bit higher. Not stellar stuff, but not as bad.

I should have worn my burgundy suit and gold-sequined shoes.

I don't mean to come across as entitled. I'm just wondering if others have been in a similar situation, and how it turned out for them.

Primary submitted mid-May, and secondaries submitted within the following month or so. UTMB and A&M. Almost every school that didn't have a super-specific mission and where I fell above their 10th-percentile GPA.
 
Wait until 2/1/16

A&M has a really high post-interview acceptance rate just fyi. The fact that you interviewed at these schools early on is also a good sign. Anyway best of luck and I hope you can pre-match to those schools
