Can anyone confirm that's how the system works?
The old system gave everyone a numerical score, and the pool was re-stacked following every interview group. Thus, a lower-scoring applicant could be passed over many, many times. (The longest I knew about personally was 1.5 years until getting a call - he declined.)

The new system is HR, R and DNR. Supposedly the pool is shallow and with the large classes lately, it would appear that you might not have to wait more than a class or two. That's how they tell us it works, anyway.
