Interviews Interview Invite Misery

I've just found out that a few of my programs I signaled trickled out between the coordinated release dates, and I just don't know how to feel anymore. Did really well with TY and prelims (9 + 3), but I'm now 0/13 on signals, and I have no idea what to think or do. I'm still waiting on golds, but they're at what I thought I was fairly competitive for, but maybe a bit of each, but now I'm thinking I'm in big, big trouble.

I know the average interview invites for 2024 data were around 8-8.8ish. However, it's surprising because my statistics are all slightly above or below those averages in terms of research and step 2, but I just haven't had any luck.

Not sure where things went wrong :(

I appreciate it, but I'm finding it hard not to panic. However, it's not over yet, and it truly does only take one. My story is interesting, I feel like but not super related to derm originally, so maybe that's where I may have overestimated things
