i have yet to hear anything (most of my apps were complete in november) and i am freaking out! im just looking for some sort of timetable, cause i know the rejections come alot later...

I've been complete since October at some schools and haven't heard anything back (except rejections). It could be a while, so I wouldn't freak out yet (although I am!). Some people have to wait a few months for some schools, while I've seen other people post that they got an interview after being complete for a week. It all depends on the school. Maybe list some specific schools and people can tell you their wait times.

I am in the same shoes you are...haven't heard back for over 2 months.....I wonder how some people got invites so soon...must have had a 40+ MCAT and perfect GPA or something. I have received a rejection from Downstate and holds from Upstate and Buff... 🙁

well i've got 3 so far...
NYMC - 2 weeks
Albany - 6 weeks
St Louis - couple days

i think the process might be slowed for us who finished late oct to nov because of the holidays

🙁

For the schools I've interviewed at or am invited to interview at, I heard within about 2 weeks of being complete about an invite. That's four schools including Albany and Upstate.

But I am sitting on a huge pile of no responses and these schools are over a month + of being complete. I am assuming I won't get any interviews from them but you never know I guess. Some people hear about interviews after being complete for several months.
