Does CIC actually organize, process, and make judgement on applications based on the month of the application, as we seem to organize ourselves in this forum? I mean, I would imagine that the group that you truly belong to would be people in your round of invitations (who have the same round cutoff). So, say, if your AOR is 30th Sept and your round of invitations had an application deadline of October 10th, you (and aors 1 - 10 Oct) would have more in common with Sep Aors. Sorry if I'm digressing here, just thinking out loud on a Sunday afternoon! Veterans can correct me if I'm wrong.
