Where can I find data that lists when each medical school begins sending interview invitations?

Is there a spreadsheet that lists when each medical school begins sending interview invitations?

I'm beginning to prewrite my secondaries, and I want to prewrite secondaries by giving priority to schools that begin sending out interview invitations earlier because:

Say for example you have school A, school A automatically sends out secondaries when primaries are received, but school A historically has not sent out interview invitations until October. On the other hand you have school B, school B automatically sends out secondaries when primaries are received, but school B has historically sent out interview invitations as early as August. I would want to prioritize writing school B's secondary. But where can I find this data?

Did you look in PreMedAllo's School Specific threads? You can create a spreadsheet from what you see posted in each school's thread. If you share it, others might add to it to help make a complete list.

Yeah that's what I was planning to do if nobody already did it before me. Created this thread to see if anybody already had that spreadsheet in place so I wouldn't be beating a dead horse

If we can't find this data would anybody be willing to help me create this for SDN?

I would suggest writing the secondaries of schools you care about most, first. As these pile up there will be an inevitable decrease in your writing quality (relative to yourself of course). Interview start dates are more or less arbitrary and probably won't matter for you individually: even if a school starts IIs very early, you might be waiting until January for them to even get to your app.

Yeah, this is a fantastic idea. I was curious about this as well. Trying to prioritize who gets my lovely secondaries first.

This is what I was planning.

This is my strategy:

Start with my state schools and make them perfect. ( highest chance of acceptances)

Then go down the list of OOS in order of interest and write. Odds are, many of the prompts will be covered in the state school essays and will be a breeze
