Based on last cycle, when do you think OMFS programs will have interviews?

Hoping to get an idea of what dates interviews will be held over the next few months. Did programs hold interviews on days they didn't before (weekdays) because they were using virtual interviews? I know some programs are saying they will do in person interviews while others are saying they will do virtual. That's not really what I am looking for. I would simply love to hear about what days of the week and during which months most interviews are conducted to I can have some idea of how my schedule might change in the following months.

Do programs interview exclusively on weekends? Do most interviews happen in October and November? Or are there a bunch in December as well? Do programs interview on holiday weeks (Thanksgiving/Christmas)? If interviews are in-person, are they usually like dental school interviews where they are just one day? Or are they built to last 2-3 days? Same question applies to virtual interviews as well, I guess.

TIA

The grand majority of interviews are historically October-December (some late Sept, some early Jan) mainly on weekdays; only a few end up on the weekends. In person interviews usually involve a social event the night before (or some cases the night of) the interview. The virtual trail last year involved anywhere from 30 minutes of your time to a full day depending on the program, some had virtual happy hours or info sessions the night before. Always some exceptions though
