According to last year's thread, the first person (in this forum, at least) to be invited was invited 11/14 for a 12/6 interview date. So I'm guessing it'll be about 3 weeks before, in mid-late November for a 12/12 date this year.
yes and apparently we will be notified with a phone call. So keep your phones on and check your messages. Just thought I would put that out there since I've had problems with my phone in the past. 😀
