What are my chances in Dec?

[sp1997]

I've had 3 interviews so far (the first three schools on my list below) while others have had 7. I'm worried that my chances to have a Dec 1st acceptance are low. I also don't know how I performed during the interviews. I tried to put my best foot forward, but I'm sure my nervousness definitely came through. I'm also worried because I haven't heard anything from many of my schools yet. Does anyone have any advice? Or is it truly just a nerve-wrecking waiting game?

Did you get anymore interviews?

Did you get anymore interviews?

I did! I got an interview at UPenn after Dec 3rd but I turned it down. I had gotten accepted into Marquette and Case and waitlisted at UIC. I put a deposit down at Marquette and just received a scholarship from them. Taking into consideration costs, I felt strong in my decision to go to Marquette over other private schools like Case or Penn
