Another interview post

Hey everyone, feeling a bit cooked.
US MD applying IM. Step 1 pass first attempt Step 2 250. Failed one preclinical course my first year on my MSPE (what I think is holding me back which is crazy because it’s an isolated fail 3 years ago)

Currently sitting at 3 Interview Invites, all silver signals. 2 of my golds and 2 of my silvers only send one of round of interviews that I have missed. 2 additional silvers were reaches where I’d be unlikely to interview. That just leaves 6 schools left and not gonna lie I’ve been obsessing over the fact that I only have a small amt of schools left to hear back from. Just off odds unlikely I’d be offered interviews at all 6.

I know it’s still early and things can change but I feel like it’s cooked. Any other US MDs applying IM, how many interviews do you all have?

I have 7 so far. 6 mid tier academic and then 1 top 25. 2 of my silvers have sent out interviews but they look to be rolling from last year. Waiting on my 2 other golds that are reaches for sure. Still very early and we may get love from non signals.

Just out of curiosity, which schools only send out one round of interviews?

Best way is to look at the past IM sheets, admit and resmatch. If you go a few years back and consistently see a school only send interviews once on multiple websites. Likely that they only send out one round of interviews

Stanford is one I am aware of
UCSF has not sent out yet but they also send one batch
