From the post, which was published in November 2015: "First of all, before I even get into the interviews themselves, I just want to say don’t panic if you don’t have a high number of interviews yet. Dermatology interview invitations come out later than all the other fields, so you can still expect interview invites to roll in through December and even into January. So step one is to take a deep breath and calm down. Schedule all your prelim and transitional interviews now while you have time and try to get as many of those out of the way in November and December because January, the month where the majority of derm interviews are, will be a wild ride."

half of the applicants here have >4 interviews. more than half of programs have sent out interview invites; the rest are top tiers or something. that is a like 60+ chance of matching. so now yes, i am panicking.
