How Many Interviews Do You Have At This Point?

Can we save the usual bragfest till after the match, please?

This is too neurosis-inducing even for me.

Man, I'd totally be worried about matching if I didn't have at least 18 invites by this point too.

This post was not intended to irritate anyone. It was meant to get an idea of what's going on during the interview invite season

It was and still is a good idea to see how other people are doing in the process. I think everyone realizes that Orthogate suffers from a bit of selection bias (though nowhere near the level at SDN), which can cause some added stress unless you view posts here from that standpoint.

I think this is really helpful. By no means is it bragging especially given my stats. I am really grateful and there is hope for everyone! All you need is one interview right?

School: South, not top 25 but I love it here
Applied: 70+
Interview: 6 total, including (2 aways and my home program)
Waitlisted: 2
Rejected: 25 and still counting
Step 1: low 230s
Step 2: low 240s
AOA: No
Preclinicals: 2 H rest HP
Clinicals: 2 HP rest H
Ortho subI and Aways: All H
Research: almost none, no pubs got involved late but have something to talk about on the trail
Extracurricular: Normal stuff, Ortho club, volunteering, etc.
Letters: 1 huge name, 1 PD from home program, 1 respected faculty
Any other strengths (eg, PhD, unique background, military, Athlete etc): Extensive military and other professional degree

Pretty mediocre candidate by orthogate standards but I think it is going pretty well so far. I have not noticed a regional bias and have been shut out by a lot of schools in my area while getting interviews and waitlists at places I never thought I'd hear from.

Seems like this forum has been quiet for a while. I know people are starting to cancel interviews, so others might benefit. I have benefited from people canceling at two places and will be attending those interviews. Hopefully, we will all match. Continue to share your story on this forum.
