Too late?

With it now being the middle of February, I am wondering how likely it is that I will receive any more interviews, and more importantly, any acceptances. I interviewed at one school early in the cycle and was waitlisted. I also received an invitation to interview at another school in March, but I am hoping that everything is not riding on my getting accepted at one school. I know a few of the schools I have not heard from will be interviewing through April, but I am very nervous that since it is so late my chances are slim. Does anyone know of people from previous years who received interviews this late? And were they successful applicants?

Unfortunately, it is pretty late in the cycle to be hoping for interviews (it does happen, but it's statistically very unlikely). You need to treat that March interview (and every interview, really) as if it's your last best hope for med school. If you really want these other schools (and the one you're waitlisted at), try sending update letters or letters of interest.👍
