As the interview season rolls on, many schools have slowed their pace of invites. Some schools have switched to only inviting once a previous slot has opened up due to a cancellation.
Please do not take what I have to say as begging or an attempt to sway you. While I am lucky to have interviewed at my top choice, it has been my only interview thus far. There are also many others in my position and a great number of students who are waiting for that first invite.
I only ask that if you are holding an invite to an interview you are certain you will not attend or it is at a school that you are certain you would not matriculate to please consider those who would swiftly fill your spot. I am NOT asking you to cancel an interview you are 50/50 on. However, if you are going to cancel, please do it in a timely manner. Even if it is a week or two week before your date, this will likely not be enough time for the admissions office to effectively replace your spot or for the new interviewee to make the proper travel arrangements.
Thank you.
