On Nov 11th I received an email stating my app was ready for review by the committee. My secondary was filled out in early Sep, and my AADSAS was not mailed until 21 Sept. Western had some issues with my LORs as I only have one from a science instructor even though I told them about this when I was thinking about applying there in August. Long story short: I am a non-standard applicant. I graduated from a service academy in 2001 and all of my pre-req science instructors were active duty military who have been moved to the corners of the earth several times over. I also last had them as instructors over a decade ago. I was in a bind for science instructors. I had my summer Microbio prof write a letter, a dentist I shadowed with, and 2 letters from senior naval officers. 1 was my last submarine commanding officer, and the other was my current commanding officer. I had to write a "waiver" email comcerning why I only had one science prof, and that held up the process.
Summary:
Western Secondary mailed: 9/15
AADSAS mailed: 9/21
App being reviewed by committe email" 11/11
Call for invite: 12/9
Interview date 1/9
Hope all is well with your app cycle! Best of luck!
