How long did most people wait to have an update on their completed files, i.e. interviews, holds, or rejections? I got a single interview invite within days, but I would like to have an idea of what other interviews I will have since you can only go on so many trips during a semester.

You're looking for concrete answers about the most variable portion of the application process.

You may get an interview invite in late summer, maybe another in early fall, maybe another in December. Some schools may seem like they forgot about you and then all of a sudden send you an invite in March. Some schools really will forget about you. Some schools will take your secondary fees and never contact you again. Some will make you wait months between your interview and your acceptance/waitlist/rejection. Some will send you the decision a week after your interview.

It's impossible to tell what your interview season is going to be like.
