Hey,
The general rule is to have a COMPLETE application by September 1st. However, not everyone can do this.
Once programs get applications (about >1000 for 10 spots) they will pick out the best ones on an on going basis. Therefore, people who apply late in the Match, i.e. Oct stand to loose interviews at SOME programs because the interview spots will alread be filled.
With that said, and given your goals apply Sept 1st. I think the deciding factor for getting interviews for you will be LoRs. If you have excellent LoR's then the programs will give you an interview and then wait for your Step 2 scores.
