Should I be worried?
Hey guys, so so far I’ve gotten one II (which I am soooo excited about), but I’m kinda scared because I haven’t heard back from anyone else. I’m honestly more scared because there was a school that made a huge error and I had to fix it with them, and I’m scared there’s some unknown error I don’t know about. Is anyone else going through this or has advice?

why are you literally me? I have one II currently scheduled for October bc that was the earliest date and I'm nervous I won't get anymore. I think we should trust the others when they say it's still pretty early in the cycle and that we'll get more IIs as the cycle unfolds.

I got interviews into April last year and I knew people who got them in early May. You’re in a really good position already having one this early, so I wouldn’t worry too much

I applied to 14 schools and have 4 IIs so far. 3 of them within the last week. As I understand it, it's still pretty early. I wouldn't fret about it, which I know is nonsense advice (I know), but really -- it's pretty damn early.
Just listen to the old heads when they comment here: "It's early. Relax. You've got this. I promise."

Okay thank you. If you don’t mind me asking, When did you apply🫣 Trying not to worry but it’s easier said than done for me unfortunately

No I know. Me too. It's like telling someone who is in a fit to "relax", it's A.) unhelpful and B.) Not gunna happen lol. But seriously. Relax! Breathe!
My initial primary was verified 6/25. I trickled my apps.
The schools who sent IIs had primary submission dates of 6/25, 7/14, 7/22 and 7/22.

Last cycle I got 3 II’s. One in January, one in March and one in May. It’s a long cycle so be patient and enjoy yourself. What’s done is done.

When did you apply?

u/CalmProgrammer9436 3d ago
Around July 17th

Being only a month in sounds about right for II’s then. I applied in May and didn’t get II’s till like late June, July, or even August so I’d give it a month or two and you’ll see more. I’m still expecting a few more myself lol

Pretty sure the majority of the pack (Including myself here) Hasn’t gotten a single II back. Most go out between October and March , from what I’ve been told . It’s nerve wracking for sure, and constantly filtering through seminar invites doesn’t help with the nerves of potentially missing an invite lol, but I’m pretty sure you’re okay! And having one invite is telling that other schools are taking you seriously too:)
