Your number of interviews gives you a > 90% chance to match. If you subtract the number of "reaches" from 80 and divide by 12, you've got an approximate % interview rate. Something greater than 15%. Then consider that really late apps probably have a much lower rate of getting offered interviews. So maybe if you're *really* lucky, you stay at 15% and get an extra 3 invites... but I'd doubt it. That gives you a > 94% chance of matching. But these rates include IMGs, so you're probably even better off that that unless you have seriously evident personality pathology (therefore tanking all interviews, in which case a few more probably won't help). So $550 + travel expenses for an extra 4% chance at most... plus there is still a reasonable probability that you'll get offered another interview or two or three anyways, maybe even more likely than with new aps. (Possible exception: the places you are interviewing at rarely take DOs and you didn't apply to any programs that are mostly mixed IMG/DO/US MD, only to programs that take almost exclusively US MD or IMG).
