hey guys! i'm applying this cycle to 24 schools, and i was just wondering, when should i be worried about how many interview invites i'm getting? i currently have one, and other schools are starting to give them out, but i haven't received any more. thanks in advance!

Don't start worrying until January-ish. Even then, there's still some hope.

think about it, you already have one, and there are thousands of others who have none, havent even been verified, havent submitted

be glad you have the one and dont worry, its still very early, just cause you might not have been in the first batch of interview invities doesnt mean you wont get any

some of the people on this site amaze me

Agreed.

I understand it's stressful, and it's normal to worry... But you're lucky to have one already. Just relax and be thankful for that.

I'm just thankful I haven't been outright rejected from anywhere yet 😉

thanks for your feedback! the whole process so far has just been really stressful

Relaaaaaaaaaaax, it's still super early and one is more than most people have. Go do something fun to keep your mind off of everything in the meantime, it'll do you good 🙂

Most schools don't send out their first interview invites until August. There are schools like Northwestern and Colorado who have yet to release their secondary. Having an interview invite now is awesome and bodes well for the next few months. So go relax for awhile.

One month into the cycle?

You're going to have a very long year...

*Looks at calendar*...not sure if serious.

Common SDN wisdom is that you should be stressed to the point of sexual disfunction if you don't have at least two interview invites by August 1.

I love SDN because then I get to tell my friends and family how intense/crazy pre-meds really are during application season.

Worked last cycle for me. Would do again

Sometimes I feel the anxiety on these threads is contagious and probably not good for my mental health. I really need to stop checking my email every ten minutes.

Dun worry bro
All my interview invites were from Jan - May and I had 5 in total

 

[ilikevegetables]

Yeah, I didn't get any til September and ended up with 8 total, so no worries. I know how rough it can be seeing other people get invites though.

Also, @chillaxbro, your avatar+signature combo is pretty choice. 😀
