I had to decline an interview offer from a program that I'm really interested in, because of date/time conflicts with other interviews. Although I like the programs I have confirmed interviews with, I'd say this one was a bit higher on my list of preferences. I was wondering how others approached this situation - I'm still waiting on a few programs that I love, and don't want to have to decline again. My understanding is that you shouldn't ask a program if it can provide another date/time option because it's already been planned out and they have plenty of candidates who don't need accommodations. Also, that you shouldn't ask a program if you can change an interview date that's already been confirmed (makes you seem unprofessional/unreliable) unless it's for an urgent reason like weather issues, etc. RPD/committee members/others, any thoughts/advice would be appreciated!
