out of curiosity. when one gets an invite to an interview, how long should one wait to reply to them. I know we probably shouldnt wait months etc. i mean i just want to mk sure that if say I get a whole bunch of invites, i'll be able to schedule them all in a way that they dont interfere w/ each other.

so i'm thinking getting back to ppl in a week is ok??? is there an 'etiquette' to these things?😎

Do it as you see fit. They will run out of spots if you wait too long. You can always cancel and interview invite. Out of courtesy you should do that a couple of weeks in advance if possible.
 
Some of my friends got letters from programs that filled that same day. If you're interested, I would go ahead and schedule. You can cancel/switch later if needed. On programs you don't care about as much you could of course wait longer.
