Does anyone know when CAlifornia schools start sending out invitations for interviews (the schools that have the Nov. 1st deadline)?

Most of them have already sent out interview invites. You might check the respective threads, PharmCAS, or the school websites for actual interview dates. I know from last Saturday's USC interview that Touro is already interviewing, and has accepted a few people. USC has finished it's first interview. Western, I believe, has a November interview. Loma Linda moved it's application deadline up this year, so they may have already started interviewing as well. UCSF has interviews coming up, I believe, but I can't be sure as I haven't checked. Same with UCSD and UOP.

Western's first interview is Dec 8th. They claim to only start looking at apps on Nov 1st. Nobody has been invited yet that I've heard of.

Per UCSF:

Next Step: Interview Invitation

After reviewing all eligible applications, we select those applicants we wish to interview. Although the number of invitations is not predetermined, we usually invite between 250 and 275 applicants to interview.
Invitations to participate in our Interview Process will be mailed from late December through early January. All applicants are notified of their application status by the end of January.

Thanks for posting, I have read the exact same thing a few days ago but after reading Farmercyst's post got a little nervous. Also I have asked my friends who are students at UCSF and they all said they had their interviews at the end of Jan or beginning of Feb.
 
The unofficial UCSD interview dates are Jan. 18 & 19 and Feb. 9 & 11. So take them with a grain of salt.
