Why wait? A number of FOs with NO TPIC whatsoever have been hired at both Spirit and Frontier.
Seriously, everybody ought to be sending out apps, if only to get in the habit of doing so. And waiting on interview prep until a week before the interview probably isn't a good idea. Some airlines (SWA and Alaska come to mind) seem to give you points for perseverance. You ought to be putting in apps anywhere you meet minimums, and updating them constantly.
It's a heck of a lot easier to UPDATE apps than to fill them out originally.
