When do most interviews go out?

Does anyone know when the bulk of interviews get sent out? I'm from a mid rank school with pretty crappy stats (all P's third year and so-so step scores), and I'm not getting much luck at all with interviews. I'm a California resident so I applied to all cali spots (excluding ucsf), and so far I've only gotten one interview at a community prog, and my own home school prog (i figure this was a guaranteed one). Seems like most people I talk to already have tons of IVs. I know I'm not a great applicant, but this wait is really nerve wracking.

Is it just too early for *most* programs, or should I be legit worried?

I feel like that thread might not be an accurate representation for how things are overall; seems like most of those people have much better stats than average.

Bulk of interviews for the CA programs I applied to two years ago went out in mid-october.

I.e. you're fine.

It's a tough call and probably changes a little from year to year, but to get your best reading from actual results, take a look at last years thread. Also many schools wait for the Deans Letter and the Dept specialty letter. Here is the link and best of luck:

Thanks for that thread 🙂.

I would argue that 234/257 aren't just "so-s0" board scores. While the passes might hurt you at the big programs, I think you'll be fine. RELAX. 😉

It's pretty much the only data available. Either use it or don't...your call.
