Hello,
I need some advice on contacting my POI at a school. So I heard back from school A about an interview invite. They have given me about 10 days to respond to the invitation. However, the interview date overlaps with school B (lists interview date on their website already). School B is my top choice but they haven't gotten back to me with their decisions yet. Now, I'm thinking if I should ask my POI at school B to ask when interview invitations will be extended since I don't want to accept school A's interview invitation before knowing the decision from school B. I want to avoid having a scheduling conflict beforehand. If I was also invited to school B, I would attend school B's interview and try to reschedule school A's interview. What should I do? Would it make sense for me to approach my POI at school B asking about the interview invitation saying that another program has given me an invite that falls on the same date? Or do I just have to suck it up and wait for the decision to be made and act on it thereafter? i.e. cancel or try to reschedule school A's interview after accepting it.
I know that I may not get an invitation from school B but I don't want to look bad by cancelling or rescheduling the interview after saying I will attend it for school A.
