Changing/postponing a date without really good circumstances will make adcoms think that you are not really interested in their school (in my opinion). So pick a date and stick with it. If the other school schedules you on the same day then you can ask them to schedule another time.
Actually, all U.S. schools have the system in which only a small percentage of interviews overlap with other schools. Another word, go ahead and schedule one, and don't worry about other interviews (you didn't get them).
 
You should be fine. I just had to change an interview invitation because they scheduled me while I would be on a cruise but they had a range of dates to select from. Imo the earlier you have your interview the better your chances could be as well. Getting an early interview means they saw your app and liked it right away. So try and go to them on the earliest date!
 
Hi,

I received an interview invite, which was earlier than I expected. I'm very excited about it. I was initially going to choose the date, and suddenly my other close friends (nonapplicants who don't know about this system) told me to wait till I get another invite from the schools that are in the same city. Since I'm OOS, it'd be so much better if I could kill two birds with one stone.

This got me wondering about the process of scheduling interview dates. How do you guys manage your interview dates? Do you choose the date first and then wait for other schools (even if you might possibly change your date later)? Are schools are generous about making a change in interviews?

i'd recommend choosing a date as far out as they allow
then hope that you are lucky enough to receive interviews in nearby (or same) cities so you can hit as many schools as you can in one trip
honestly, the process is so unkown that you cannot even be sure when (or if) you will receive invites nearby
 
choose now. And book with southwest if you can. They have a very good change flight policy compared to other airlines. So if you need to modify, you should be ok.

This! Southwest is a great option! People that shop at Costco really know where the deals are at!
 
Just be careful about rescheduling a pre-dec interview after December. I got my interview at Midwestern revoked because they knew I was waiting to see if I had any acceptances from other schools before deciding to attend their interview 🙁

Tufts told me "We do not do post December interviews" when I tried this lol
