First, I want to say how fortunate I am to be in this position. I'm holding an acceptance from Tufts and will/ have already attended interviews at Yale, UMich, Cornell, Georgetown, GW, University of Rochester and Case Western. I just declined interviews at UVM and Tulane because of the amount of interviews I've received so far in the cycle. I have plane tickets to attend an interview at GW on Tuesday---should I cancel it? Of the schools I'm interviewing at it's the lowest on the list, but I'm terrified to reject it on the off chance I randomly fall in love. Am I being silly and should just try and cut down on my travel/ interviewing craziness? Basically, I'm trying to imagine if I would choose to attend GW over Tufts if I was declined from all of the other schools on my interview trail. Any insight would be appreciated as I know very little about GW--thanks!
 
In my opinion, if money isn't a big deal and you're seriously considering the school, then I don't see how it could hurt to go to the interview.
 
I was in a similar situation. But, having already bought the tickets, I went. Ultimately I don't think I would go there but it also indicated something about another school I am considering that I hadn't previously realized. So since you already have plane tickets why not take the leap?
