I didnt really think that I would find myself in this situation given my rather average SDN stats - 31MCAT, 3.8GPA, non-science major with plenty of easy classes on my transcript...but how many interviews are too many?
I applied to 14 schools, and have fortunately gotten several interview requests thus far and no rejections. I have of course eagerly and graciously accepted all requests but I am starting to feel a little weighed down by the finances and time requirements of it (in other words my boss is getting pissed that I am taking so many vacation days).
The seasons is still early, so there is plenty of time for rejections to pour in, but my question is this, how many interviews is plenty?
Obviously I wouldnt pull my application anywhere until I have an acceptance somewhere and my top choices I would leave floating out there until I am accepted or rejected, but at what point do you say self, I have (insert number here) interviews now, I should get into one or two of those schools, maybe I should withdraw my application at my lower tier schools so as not to waste their time and my money?
Any words of wisdom on this topic would be greatly appreciated.
