Do schools not send interview invites until everything is completed?

I've submitted all my secondaries a while ago, but my school committee is taking forever to write my letter....

I've been waiting almost three weeks now since the time they said that they will send my letter.

My question is,

1. do schools send interview invites only when they have my letters even if I sent in the secondaries already?

2. The reason why why asking #1 is because I actually got one interview invite from a school after I submitted the secondaries for them (despite them not having my letter). So is it different for every school?

3. Say, my committee sends my letter at the end of August. Does that mean me having sent in my secondaries early (within 2 weeks of receiving them) won't give me any advantage in terms of timing? Or would schools note that I sent in my secondaries early?

thanks

It depends on the school, but most schools probably will want to wait for the letter to make sure they don't invite someone for an interview who has a major red flag in the letter. How long after your school sends the letter that med schools will review everything and decide whether or not to invite you depends entirely on the school.

some schools will send interviews without all letters in.

just curious, what school did you get an II from?
