your credentials are excellent. i agree, you "should" have got more iv's. t

he fact that you only got 3 iv's probably means there may be a "problem area" in your application. are you sure all of your letter writers wrote strong letters? are you sure there is nothing that can be viewed negatively in your personal statement?

be positive. call the programs u iv'd to let them u will rank them high.
but at the same, be on the look out for observership/externship. there is no harm in finding out the info and applying to them. if u do get matched, then u can call the observership, and let them u will not be attending . if no match then go ahead and join the obship...

good luck
