What is the typical timeline for interview offers?

[Piglet2020]

I submitted my secondaries during the 2nd to last week of July, verified/complete status around 7/31. No word since then. In past years, when do interview offers usually come in? After Labor day? I only received 1 interview offer so far., OOS school Thanks.

(Asking specifically for UMD, Georgetown, GW, JHU, NYMC, PA schools, VA schools, Rosalind Franklin, BU, Case Western).

No way to tell. Go read the school specific threads for last cycle to see when interview invites started. It might give you an idea.

I second the above poster. Some schools offer IIs sooner than others. Some schools offer IIs later in the season. lpp06 has a wonderful interview tracker going that might be useful to you as well:

Another good place to look is MDApps. Some people list their II dates, which can be really helpful. Seeing a few whole (successful) cycles laid out start to finish can give you a sense of perspective and hope. For example, a few days ago I read an Mdapps page of a guy from a few cycles ago who had a 3.7x and 520ish who didn't get any interviews until September, had many rejections, got a Yale interview in January, waitlisted at Yale, accepted to Yale in may, and matriculated there. You just never know. I still check my email every half hour, though.
