How long should I expect to wait for an interview once I have submitted an application before I can assume that a graduate school isn’t interested in interviewing me?
It depends on the type of graduate school. There are probably forums dedicated to admissions to the type of school you are talking about.
How do you know they even interview? Unless you’re talking about medical school or Northwestern law school, they may not even do interviews at all. Most schools don’t do them anymore.
It takes about a year (or more) to get into med school from the time you apply.
It is not uncommon to hear back from them within two-three months of the semester you wish to enroll for. I would advise going to the school and meet with a counselor or director of admissions to find out. It’s interesting you are able to apply for spring semester. Almost all the grad schools I applied to only allowed entry every fall.

I’m actually in middle of applying to medical school right now, and it’s a year-long process. What field are you applying for?
And for med-school, every school needs to interview you first.
Good luck!
The forums discuss fall admissions, while I’m aiming for spring
You will definitely get better advice from those forums than from a bunch of yeshiva guys who don’t know if you are trying to get into Oxford or laughter therapy school.

PBA – Thanks – I was released from never-never land!
If you’ve already been accepted to another program, you have nothing to fear by contacting the desired school and asking them this question. I would even suggest you call to confirm that they received your application. I applied to several programs, and asked several people to send in recommendation letters for me. Turns out, my “choice” school received one of the recommendation letters “too late” (incomplete application) and I was closed out of the following semester. I chose not to delay grad school and went elsewhere.
Call and confirm that they received your application and that it is complete. Then ask what is the interviewing process (meaning, when can you expect to hear).
