When do schools typically begin reviewing applications?

One of the places I applied didn't begin the process until January 17th, so I'm wondering what is the typical range schools begin their process. This school is my top choice and I haven't heard anything from them yet (no interview or anything) so I'm just hoping that maybe this is a later starting date than normal and everything is pushed back in comparison to other schools.

I called them to see when they're reviewing. Each school seems to have a different period and internal timeline.. Call/Email your program director to ask...
