I believe if you applied and made the Nov. 15th deadline, then you will hear back from RCSI late January/early February. However, if you do not receive any sort of invitation, or rejection then your application will be grouped with those applicants that applied with the January 31st deadline (being the second cycle of applicants). I believe that everyone will hear back April/May, and I'm sure the applicants that received no invite, but applied by Nov. 15th get some kind of priority over the late applicants. I'm not 100% sure, but this is what I have come to understand from reading many threads from this years application and the previous. For all I know, RCSI might give out interviews to the Nov.15 applicants that didn't receive interviews in the first place only because someone declined an offer after the first round of interviews. RCSI would know by early April all the applicants that have declined/accepted, so then they could get back to the ones that didn't get interviewed by then. So they might not even relate applications from the first cycle to the second. I don't think anyone really knows for sure how applicants are selected and what applying early/late means except for RCSI. So no worries. No need to stress about something that isn't known. At this point, applicants that made the original deadline, but didn't get an interview should probably hear about an interview or rejection in April/May. I would email ABP to see when you'll be hearing back from RCSI for sure though. I would wait a week or so because who knows you still might get an interview
