depends when u apply also
I applied on day 1 of the cycle last year and was complete at all schools by about this time. My first interview invites came at the end of July for late August/September/October dates (usually you get several dates to choose from). I chose the earliest possible date I could. Acceptances came 2-4 weeks after the interview, usually by email. I had an acceptance in hand by mid September. It pays to apply early!
The beauty of the DO cycle is that you can apply super duper late and still have a good shot. Many schools don't fill up until Feb/Mar. If you don't get in, it's almost time for the new cycle and the bar is much lower if you apply in Jul.
Usually between late July and Early August. There is still movement and acceptances being dispensed even during the very first week if not second week of classes at many schools.
This policy can be generalized to some applying populations and to some schools. CCOM and NSU are full by the New Year and well over half of the accepted will attend leading to a case of who can get the last spot. It's always in your favor to apply early if possible and if all goes well.
Most schools will begin sending out IIs around August and will begin interviews in September. Most will be done with their cycles by March with others going on till April. After May you'll be in the country of waitlist movements from May 1st till probably the end of June. July will see minimal movement and the cycle will for almost every school be over by the end of July.
Apps open in the beginning of June. Invites can come in as early as July for interview dates at the end of July (LECOM), but most start in August, and extend pretty much until March (most schools) & April (some schools).
Acceptances are throughout the whole period anywhere from 1 week after the interview to months.
If you were interviewed, you could get off a waitlist as late as July, but it really depends on the school. The earliest start dates that I know of is in mid-July, but most are in August.
Some start as early as the beginning of July. It just depends
