Hi y'all! Hope everyone had a great thanksgiving! I have a question now that December is finally upon us. How often are IIs sent out after Thanksgiving? I know about the Thanksgiving rule and I heard that generally speaking, less IIs are sent out after Thanksgiving. However, due to the amount of applications that schools are getting this year, the cycle has been apparently much slower this time around compared to previous cycles, so I'm wondering if the Thanksgiving rule has been held back by like 2-4 weeks lol? Thanks in advance and good luck!

Following! I know for certain that some schools have 2000+ more applications this year compared to last year, so I can't imagine these schools would be on the same timeline as last year.

I have no interview invites thus far, so I'm very hopeful that the "Thanksgiving Rule" does not hold true this year, given the increase in the number of applications at the individual schools.
