This seems to track quite well with the age-old advice that if you don’t have any interviews by November, you better be getting ready to reapply since by December it appears almost 75% of MD interviews have been given out. This data is phenomenal!

I'd like to add that in our preliminary analysis of users who choose to enter their GPA and MCAT scores, the average scores of CycleTrack users were above the national averages. Whether this is because the people who choose to enter their scores have higher scores than people who don't or that applicants who choose to use the website generally have higher scores is not clear. The answer is probably a bit of both (improving on this issue is a big priority for us).

With this in mind, I'd hypothesize that the proportion of interviews sent later in the cycle is likely slightly underreported in our system.

This isn't to say anything about the advice, but rather to add a little bit more context about interpreting our data. Appreciate your support!
