You must have all scores in by feb 28 (i think, plus or minus a week of this) in order to match.

Some programs have deadlines of dec 1 and dec 31. you have to check yourself with the programs you want...

good luck.
I would do it now if i were you, it's getting kinda late. some programs only have a certain amount of spots for how many interviewers they are willing to interview, it's first come first serve basically.... others will be place on waiting list until someone drops the interview...
