Okay, so I'm incredibly grateful to say that I received an acceptance offer to a school I really liked last week (let's call it School A). On the same day, I received an interview offer from another school (School B). I have a LizzyM of 69. I applied to 7 schools and received interviews (including the one pending) to 6 of them. I really liked 3 out of the 5 schools at which I've already interviewed (including School A), and I'm having a hard time comparing them as is.
Schools A and B are pretty similarly ranked and cost about the same. Each has pros and cons, but I'm a little concerned about School B because the interview won't occur on the campus at which I'd spend my first 2 (and maybe all 4) years, so I won't be able to even get a feel for the school.
Also, with my interview traveling, I've had to rearrange a lot of stuff at work (which adds to the stress considerably because I have to make up the missed hours), and honestly, I'm really tired of the traveling. I'll also be doing some traveling for personal reasons in November (around the same time the interview is scheduled), which adds to the travel exhaustion and stress.
What do y'all think? Should I just suck it up and go to the interview, just in case there's something there that calls to me? Or, should I save the time, money, and stress by declining the offer? I feel bad declining the offer because I'm so incredibly grateful to even be considered for an interview and because I don't want to regret it later, but I'm not sure what's the best choice here.
Thank y'all in advance!
