When will I get orders?

At my A-school (DLI since I'm a CTI) we fill out a dream sheet (of what orders we would like, if we can get them) maybe 3 or 4 months before graduation and receive our orders a month before graduation. (Granted, we have 16 months of instruction.)

I would say we spend anywhere from 4 days to 2 months at A-school before we start classes. One month is probably average. This isn't waiting for a "group" exactly - A-school operates on a rotating basis so the new people can't start until the most senior class in their assigned language graduates and then take their place (same teachers, classrooms etc). I'm not a CTT though, so your A-school may be different from mine.
