I won't be posting my interview invites because I don't want to sacrifice my anonymity, but I wish all of you success!
How does knowing the interviews of people who don't have MDApps posted help you or anyone else? (I didn't let them know that I did though. 
)
@BlackDr2B...I'm not sure how not posting my interviews indicates that I'm not supportive.
I don't need anyone to celebrate my interviews with me b/c interviews do not equal acceptances. In order to help future applicants, I will post my info (anonymously) in Pre-allo once I'm finished with this cycle.
You know I love ya!
I agree! I know the identity of one person who has posted in this very thread, and I've recognized 3 people from SDN in general on the interview trail.
There are just so few URM interviewees that we aren't granted the same level of anonymity as non-URM applicants.

(Crazy, I know, but following the advice of my friends from last year I applied very early.) I also wish to protect my anonymity at this time, but I'll post all the info later in the cycle.
I serve an AWESOME God!
congrats right back at you sflo. always gotta show love for the ricans =) I went to school in Boston but I know Hunter very well. I lived about 2 blocks from it this past summer while I was at WCMC. Best of luck!
I'm so happy for you BlackDr2b! Congratulations! I'm sure there are many more to come.I am excited because I finally get to add my name to this thread. God is so good and so faithful. If you stand on His word and believe, He will open doors. Today I received my first medical school interview at Drew/UCLA!!!!!

Thanks njbmd. I really appreciate the encouragement & support. I'm so proud of everyone here & what we are accomplishing so keep it up! I'm actually contemplating deleting my mdapp because people keep leaving ridiculous, hurtful comments on it. I didn't realize SDNers could be such haters.Hey folks,
A hearty congrats on the great interviews but there has been plenty of nastiness out there to some of the folks who have interviewed. I can tell you that at my two schools, most of our interview groups have one or two students. When I ask, they have almost all reported that disparaging comments have been made to them is some manner.
I will say to anyone of color (or not of color), don't be dismayed by anyone who attempts to distract you from your goals. I appreciate those folks who want to remain somewhat anonymous in this process (and I have heard from more than a few). I also remember some of the very nasty comments that folks encountered in previous years on this website too. (One of the reasons that this forum is out here). I (and others) completely understand not wanting to subject yourself to the nasty comments or to more scrutiny because you are one of a few.
Keep strong and keep living your dreams. We NEED everyone in this business and I am hoping for a strong year. There are so many patients who need good physicians out there.
Do remember that here at SDN, you have the right to post your questions and comments without being attacked or personally "put down" for who you are or your success. If you find that you are receiving harassments (and it's happening), please use the "Report post" function (the little triangle under the poster's avatar) or use the "Contact Us " function at the bottom of the page.
Again, I congratulate everyone on acceptances and interviews and keep them coming.
Those comments are a major reason why I don't have one. (I can't take online negativity. ) It's like no matter HOW good your stats are, we will always be considered to be "inferior" by a large portion of our so-called "colleagues". I don't waste time trying to lord my massive brain power over others so it's going to be interesting to see how some of my non-URM classmates treat me come August.
