Match Experience
Definitely no need to go on too many interviews, limited myself to 9. (note: also failed a course 2nd yr and remediated; thought this would hinder my application but as long as your LOR are strong and you prove yourself in other ways- and don't have too many deficiencies- this didn't turn out to be an issue).
