Does anyone know when during the cycle do schools begin reviewing completed apps?
I wonder between June, July, August, September and October, when do most people submit, or are complete? Including overachievers here 😀

Most schools started reviewing completed applications in July/August last year.

Overachievers here will more than likely submit by the end of June. I'd say most people otherwise that I've interacted with submit by the end of July. Slackers (unless they have a good reason to wait so long) usually by August.

I'm just going to throw this out there, NN. I submitted on 06/08. Now you're saying, "wow, three whole days after initial submission date? Yeah, you're still an over-achiever."

I just got verified yesterday. That's almost 2 solid weeks. People who submitted anywhere last week are probably not going to get verified by the 29th at this rate. People who submit when secondaries open up, i.e. at the end of June, good luck! You'll be verified by July.

2 whole weeks?!?! 😱


it doesn't actually matter

I was complete in mid-August last cycle; my committee letter took a few weeks to get sent out after my app was verified in July. I received interview invites at random times from late August to late February. You are at no disadvantage if you are a few weeks "behind".

You have to factor in the amount of applications they had to plow through for June 5th/6th. I promise that it'll go a lot faster for the applications between then and now.
