Replied by on topic ok, i needed to add
ok, i needed to add some input here, before this thread is gets ridiculous.

this is not a good sample of how many interviews the average accepted applicant gets (especially those who are gettting 75%).

first of all, the ones most likely to respond to this question are those doing very well.

secondly, in my opinion, the 'golden number' of interview to match is still about 10. if you get close to that number, you should be fine.

i matched at my first choice and i got 12 inteviews with 46 (i think) applications. and i think the average 'super candidate' only gets about 1/2 of their interviews. and also consider this: although it has been done, going to more that 18 interviews is near impossible. so even if you get 30 interviews, it is little more than a feather in your cap.

i know how stressed out about 95% of you are right now. please just take a deep breath and RELAX.

to those who are doing great, congrats. to the majority who are nervous, i hope this makes you a little less so.

peace, and humptiness forever

Congrats to all those who are getting so many interviews - I am jealous

Anyways,

applications = 50

rejects = 9

offers to interview = 1

so I guess I am an example of those NOT doing so well - but like everyone is saying I am trying to keep the faith...take care everyone - good luck on the interview trail and be safe...

What Soudes says makes sense, it is still way early.

The vast majority of my interviews are in the midwest. Seems the east & west coast like to sit for while before offering interviews. Also, my most recent 3 invitations were from programs that I was not in the "first wave." So if you haven't received any formal rejection yet, there is still hope.

good luck all.
