I got my II a couple weeks ago but the earliest were end of September (I’m doing 9/25 and I got the invite 8/15). This was the farthest out of all my interviews so far
 
OOS II strong ties. Earliest interview was 11/20. Was at work and didn’t see the email till about 1 so the other dates may have gotten snagged

Hey, I'm a current M1 and would like to answer any questions I can! I'll answer 2 questions now that I assume many people will ask:

"Do you need SC ties?"

At our orientation, they stated every single one of us had a South Carolina tie. The weakest one I've heard so far is someone's grandparents living at the beach.

"Is there hope if you get wait-listed"

Yes. It feels like at least half the current class got off the wait-list. It looks like almost all of the wait-list movement was May 1st. I was "In-state middle tier on the wait-list" and I got the call the morning of May 1st.
