Fun with numbers
I went through the list and gave everyone a "composite date" that was based on simply adding their interview month to their type month. I only used the "pool date" to rank guys with the same "composite score," and I gave a score of "0" if you got your type in 2000 or earlier. If you interviewed in March, and were typed in June, your score is 3+6=9. In the case of ties, I used pool date. Here's how the list changes based on just those two dates, for all the guys (not Stop-lossed) in the pool by September...
Sorted by type/interview "composite date" first, then by "pool date."

Now, if you want to use some statistics, instead of lies or dammed lies
then you'll note that the best we've done is put about 4 guys in any one class, so our pre-9/11 list probably constitutes about 20% of the actual pre-9/11 pool. That means we'd probably put about 5 or so in each class of 26. So, if your "score" is 13 or 14, it's likely that you've got a February class date. 15-17, probably March. I was told a week ago I was "probably" going to the first April class, and Jennifer claimed no knowledge of any extra Jan/Feb classes, so I'm guessing that I would move up a class or two, which the "score" shows. That also means if you were told "probably not by April," you may be back in the game
Of course, my theory and $0.59 will get you a Biggie-size for your Wendy's combo after the 3rd leg of your 8-leg trip from Hobby to El Paso, so...
