You're on fire too!!! We both have five interviews, right? So exciting!!! Congratulations to you for all of your success!!! That's amazing, and I'm sure the trend will continue. You're such a strong applicant.
Yeah... all of my interviews are on the opposite side of the country thus far
And I'm still in school; I have my senior year of undergrad left. It really complicates things. But I've been spacing them out so I have one interview per week throughout late August to late September, and I'll just fly across the country every week. I was able to make two of my interviews coincide on the same trip (Rochester and NYU), but the others are far enough apart that it'd be a hassle, and cause me to miss more school. I'm choosing all of my interview dates to be Fridays or Mondays so that I can fly out Thursday and fly back Saturday, or fly out Sunday and fly back Tuesday. I only have MWF classes next semester, so each interview means I only miss one day of school. I'm missing a whole bunch of research days (Tu/Th), but my PI is cool about it, thank goodness.
But yeah. So far, I have four separate cross country trips planned during August and September. It will be costly and exhausting, but I couldn't figure out a better way to do it. All of my flights are already booked because I didn't see the point in waiting. Now I just have to wait for student host lists to become available so I can find somewhere to stay!
