Hi,
Since my spring semester is starting soon, I am trying to schedule interviews on Fri/Mondays so I would lose less class/lab time. In that process, I am also delaying some interviews till Feb because the med schools don't always have openings on Fri/Mon. Is this happening to any one else?

Sorry about the cut and paste error in the title "feel have?" I can not edit it now...

Sometimes you just have to suck it up and miss class. Thats what I decided.

I would schedule the interviews earlier and miss the classes (which is what I also chose to do for my fall interviews). The application cycle is already a little past halfway over, and if I were you I'd be heading to the earliest interviews possible to maximize my chances of getting accepted this cycle.

Totally agree. 👍

Your current classes are not important enough to lower your chances at acceptance. I had to miss quite a bit of classes/labs in order to go to my interviews, and I can't be happier that I did so.
 
Thanks for the input. I went ahead and scheduled my UMDNJ interview during the first week of classes.😛😀

On the plus side, I think I will be done interviewing with this one. I am pretty happy with the 5 that I scheduled so far and rest are low priority.
