i submitted my app in late july and had everything in by then. it took 9 weeks for AADSAS to process, so schools got the info in mid/late sept. i started hearing in a week and the earliest interviews available were nov. i went to 3 interviews bt nov. 11-21, rescheduled one for jan., and heard from 3 schools the week of dec. 1st. i would recommend getting your app in early july bc AADSAS gets real backed up. i know people that submitted apps a week later than me, had AADSAS take 2-3 weeks longer to process, and didnt get interviews til jan! so timing is crucial! i agree with the first reply, just make sure you get some interviews before dec. 1st...this is def possible if you get your app in in july. but there isnt really much of a way to work a course schedule around it. even scheduling fridays off doesnt always help. some of the schools i interviewed at only offered interviews tues-thurs. the schools that offered mon/fri interviews were harder to get...like i tried to get a friday interview at one, but it was a month later than if i could schedule on a tuesday! your profs should understand, and everyone else can do it or has done it, so im sure youll be fine!
