Curious as to what aspects of an application result in an early II. Is it MCAT/GPA, PS, Secondaries, Work/Activities, or the entire application?

It may have as much to do with the reviewer as the applicant (time on their hands...).

What exactly do you mean by that?

It’s not necessarily that the app is stellar, but just that the reviewer is quick and has gotten through a lot of apps. You would have received an II regardless

Early interviews may have been screened by those who had more time on their hands than usual.
It may have less to do with the candidate than the evaluator.

You sure type fast, whippersnapper.

Just through observation here on SDN
Some schools will review very high stat, minority, veteran, or overcame a hardship students faster / earlier / out of order. But it seems most schools especially in the T20 review apps chronologically based on completed submission date.

Not necessarily. Stanford just started sending them out recently, Emory hasn’t sent any out yet, and I’m sure there are other examples.

Congrats! Racking up those airline bonus miles!

Of course, but I am pretty sure he meant that we are now entering the heart of the interview season, so while some schools (like the two you mentioned) might not have been the first out of the gate, any IIs from September on would not really be considered "early" given that apps opened 3 months ago.
