How much notice do programs usually give for interviews?

[taacc]

I was wondering if anyone has a sense of how much advanced notice a program would give for interview invites. For example, if the interview weekend is on 2/15, would the program typically send out invites around 1/15 (a month before the interview)? I imagine that even last minute invites would at least be 3 weeks before the interview date, simply to give enough notice for the applicant to book flights/make travel plans. Would this assumption be correct, or is it possible for schools to extend invites less than 3 weeks before an interview? It probably doesn't matter what the answer to this is, but I'm curious and would like to have a sense of how likely it is at this point to receive an invite from certain schools on my list haha. Thanks in advance!

Mine have been anywhere from a month and half to just a couple weeks. I think it depends on the program.

I received an interview invite exactly one week before, so it really fluctuates!

I was invited to an interview for 2/28 on 2/10.

I got 2 interview invites, one of which gave me a 1.5 week notice and the other a 2 week notice. But they also gave me alternative dates to be on campus (i.e., any friday in february).

Thank you all, this has been really helpful! At the very least, it seems like it's not impossible for schools to reach out on shorter notice than 3 weeks.
