We also cannot meet with or speak to applicants who have not received an interview invitation about their candidacy. source
Not everyone who meets the criteria stated above will receive an interview invitation; there are just too many applicants to do that. source
If I don’t receive an invitation until January, does that mean I have less chance of matching? Because of our holistic review, interview invitations are not all sent in one batch. source
We invite applicants for interviews through the recruitment season. source

USMLE 2 CK result is not required at the time of application, but we do need the result to be available prior to the rank deadline in order to rank the candidate. source
