I have not seen very many people get interviews recently for the schools I have applied to, and I am getting a bit worried. I applied to UoP, UCLA, USC, Harvard, UF, Michigan, Pittsburgh, Western, and Tufts. My top is UoP or UCLA and I was wondering what are my chances of getting into those two schools?

have you received any interview invites?

I have, USC and UoMichigan. I am grateful for these interviews, but I just wanted to know my chances for UoP and UCLA, as those are my top.

UOP loves high stats, especially DAT, so you are not out of the running
they do, however, finish interviewing early, so the number of invite spots remaining are getting lower every day
i know UCSF is already giving out January invites, not sure about UCLA
your stats are within UCLA's range, but it's tough to say what your chances are since they have such a highly competitive applicant pool...
 
I agree, you'll have to see how the cycle goes. We have no idea how your essays resonate with the screeners, so it is hard to say how you impressed them. But you do have a few interviews already, so be grateful for what you were able to get. Those aren't bad schools.

Thank you for your thoughtful response!
