Thoughts on Situation?

Hello,

So I interviewed at three schools pre-December, I was waitlisted at 2 of them and I was denied at the other. I have a 3.68 oGPA, and a 3.73 sGPA. 20 AA/21 TS. I also have one post December interview.

I really don't know what to do at this point, I've pretty much been acting as if I am not going to get accepted, does anyone have any suggestions on what I can do if I were not accepted? Also, I spoke with one of my interviewers and asked if my actual interviewing was my issue, and he told me it was not.. I thought I was pretty competitive, granted I am not entitled to anything.. Any advice is appreciated!

Thanks!

Whats your DAT breakdown and EC's, plus what schools did you apply to?

The first year I applied I got 1 interview and was waitlisted, second year I interviewed at the same school and got denied, third year I interviewed at same school and got in. Sometimes it’s you and sometimes there’s just amazing students that happen to apply to that school that year. That’s what happened to me in year two.
First there is always a chance one of the two that waitlisted you will make an offer. However, if that doesn’t happen, be really selective of the schools you apply to. Apply to OOS schools that actually give OOS students a chance. There were a few I wanted to apply to this year, but I didn’t stand a snowballs chance in Hell getting in because they accepted so few OOS applicants. And the ones they did accept were in the same region as them.
Good luck! Your numbers are fine.

Thanks, I regret not applying to more schools, I had the money, I just didn’t see the point. Certainly regret it

Is your post-dec interview at Touro? If it is, you have a great chance with your stats to get in. I would prepare well for that interview and hope for the best.

I would suspect that 17 RC is hurting you. I would retake
