Couldn't find this one in the archive. On average when does the interview

season end? Or more specifically what month do you think schools will

stop doing interviews for the class of 2013? As always thanks in advance.

Not an expert, but from phone calls i've made to assorted schools (allo and osteo) it seems interview seasons generally end in late March through end of April. While there's a huge advantage in an early interview, i get the sense that most schools will still consider files they've reviewed/re-re-reviewed for those late spots. at least, that's what i'm hoping... Anecdotally, i can tell you that a friend waited until early March (i.e. after he was rejected by most other schools) to *submit* his secondary to touro and managed to earn an acceptance.

Below are the school, the date AACOMAS is due, and the date their secondary application is due. You'll notice that the deadline is in April for quite a few schools, so you do have time to apply. I applied in January for the school I ended up attending. Most places save spots for interviewees up until the end of interviews. Obviously it will depend on the school, as is shown below.
