I may have to be out of the country sometime between end of September to mid October. The earliest completion of my secondary application is mid-July. I understand this is a very subjective question but do yall think I may have an Interview set up near that time? thanks.
 
Nobody here has a crystal ball to answer that question, but if you get a II for that time period, you can try calling the schools to reschedule.
 
I think it's ok as long as you have email access, and that you can come back if II is offered.
 
There is absolutely no way to know but that's right in the middle of busy interview season. Some schools will let you reschedule pretty easily and some will tell you the day to be there and too bad if you can't make it. I wouldn't do it personally but you have to decide what's more important to you in the long run.

And some will offer you three dates within a 2 week span. And some send you to an on-line sign-up page with open windows scattered across a one-month span with no other recourse. Or you might not see any action at all until January.
 
Thank you everyone for your responses.

I'm wondering If I will get an interview date by end of september. The earliest secondary I submitted was in mid-July and I am still finishing up couple secondary that's left for me. Maybe it was a bad assumption for me to think that I wasn't going to get any interview date between end of september to early october?

Hard to predict without knowing how competitive your application is and how closely it matches or exceeds the schools you are targeting.
 
I feel like that is the heat of interview SZN
