i have 3.17 science and 3.38 cum. 20 bio 20 gc 20 reading 19 ochem 17 pat qr. 19aa 20ts. I’m still in my last year of undergrad I applied to 14 schools. At still, both midwestern, udm, umich, Minnesota, case, NYU, tufts, Buffalo, creighton, Boston, nova, and Louisville. I have 400+ volunteer hours, around 120 shadow, and several other ecs. I’m also very confident in my personal statement. I’m really hoping to land a couple post December interviews but would really appreciate some insight.

yep, I think that's holding you back from getting interviews along with a low GPA. Schools are a bit more forgiving in the beginning of the cycle, but they become much more selective as time goes on.
The academic update period opens Dec 3rd, so I definitely recommend that you update your grades as soon as you receive them.

Yeah I will, but do you think there’s a chance at post December. I had a very rough freshman year but a very high upward trend after that

Can anyone else offer any input? I'm not sure how post december interviews work and I am really hoping to get a couple. When are they offered and are they offered to people with lower stats usually?

LeBron,

I have pretty much near exact GPA but slightly better DAT (21AA/TS, 22PAT/QR). Applied to same number of schools (many of the same schools). Managed to have 6 pre December interviews. I’d say you have a good chance at post December, but submitting in August definitely held you back from pre December in my opinion.
