So I'm a pretty average applicant (US IMG, 229/228/pass, 4 US LORs) and I applied on the 15th. I'm trying to accompany my family overseas during the 2nd half of January. I know there are always chances of getting last minute interviews, but are they significant? I applied pretty broadly to over 200 places and they're low to medium competitiveness. I'm thinking that I should be able to get at least 10 IVs by then. Should I schedule my trip or are there significant chances of getting 1 or 2 extra interviews after January 15th? Thoughts?

You are free to do whatever you'd like, but I think you need to maximize your chances of matching given that you're a US IMG. You should be going on any and every interview (maybe up until 15 or so, but I wouldn't stop before then).

My last interview was on Jan 15. My program last year didn't even offer January interviews. So you're probably fine to schedule the trip.

Thanks guys, I appreciate the input.

I got a last minute offer end of January/beginning of February this year. It doesn’t happen a lot, but it does happen.

Also many schools wait to invite for interviews until they get the MSPE which is released Oct 1.

They're already being sent out. Hope you like North Dakota.

Name checks out

So, some have sent out a small batch of interviews already. Many programs wait till after the MSPE goes out (Oct 1), so my advisor said to expect the bulk in mid October ish
