how long is the wait between submitting and hearing about an interview

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
depends on the school. some of them i waited a couple weeks for an interview, some I waited a couple months. i remember one person last year submitted in july and finally in february an II rolled in. hell another person got rejected from 2 different schools and got called back months later and said, "we want to interview you." so kick your feet up and enjoy the ride because it is going to be a long one.
 
What is the range of wait times between submitting a secondary and hearing whether or not you have received an interview from people's past experiences?

There is no range. Plus this wait time doesn't start when you submit secondary instead it starts after you are "complete" , which can take weeks after you submit the secondary. Your wait time depend on numerous factors: how early in cycle the app was submitted, how strong are your stats/ECs , how well written were your essays, etc. If you start looking at other people's past experiences, you are making the waiting process worse for yourself as two people with identical stats can have complete different turn around time. As for me personally, I submitted majority of my secondaries around the same time. Got my first interview about a month after and some more invites came within the next few weeks. There are still a lot of schools where I am complete but still haven't heard a peep.

hope this helps.
 
Id also like to add a bit of experience to the discussion and give my answer:

It depends...

Some schools haven't even begun to interview...or have only gone through the first and second rounds. Long time left in the season...
