Hi all,

It seems like most ppl on sdn are getting lots of interviews by this time but I only have 3 out of 17 schools I applied so far and I'm getting really anxious: 1 at Case 1 (oct. 8) at Buffalo (oct. 9) and 1 at Las Vegas (Dec. 3).

I thought I didn't apply too late. I submitted my AADSAS on June 31st and I took my DAT on July 7. I met an interviewee at one of the schools who said he took the DAT in late july but still had 5 interviews so far.
My stats aren't bad (3.9 GPA+ 23AA/19PAT) but since I only have 2 interviews before December so far I was beginning to question my chances of getting in! 🙁

I applied to NYU, BU, Columbia, UPEnn, etc but none of them contacted me so far (except file complete emails). And it seems like most interview seats until December are being filled out already.. do I still have a good chnace of getting into these schools that didn't call me for an interview yet?

Oh gosh! I am worried too. December 1st is approaching quickly and I have only received a post-December interview at Nova. I haven't heard any rejections though... So I am still lucky on the other side!

With your stats, you'd have a good chance of acceptance in a post-Dec interview. Relax, and try not to get too nervous at your interviews, although it might seem impossible.

The fact that you already have 3 interviews should calm you down a little bit. That means schools have seen your application and feel you are qualified. Tufts, NYU, and Boston arguably receive the most applications around the nation. They are extremely busy and probably haven't gotten to your app yet.

3 interviews...come one now, don't be greedy! There are people who haven't heard from a single school yet. Some schools are just slower than others, give it some time, I'm sure you'll rake up a couple more in the months to come. If not, try a Xanax

yeah posts like this makes lot of ppl leave SDN (according to ppl who i meet during interviews, they all say "i hate SDN b/c ppl complain when they have 3.8 and 22 DAT")

Although I would like to say something negative since this post seems very pointless, I would tell you that with your stats you will not have much problem (unless there is something seriously wrong with LORs or something but hey you have 3 interviews so that doesnt seem like it)

This is so true, that's what I heard from others as well at interview.

Come on, 3 interviews and your worried? We're not even half through the cycle yet. You'll get more, just wait!

I have a similar GPA and a lower DAT score with 2 interviews and I'm not worried at all! No need to worry.

ok thanks everyone so i guess I still have good chances
it was just that all other interviewees I've met during the interviews had 4 or so interviews already so that's what got me worried..

good luck everyone!
