I am interviewing this fall, and am worried that having a heavier course load is going to make it harder to balance class, work, and interviewing (if I even get an interview invite). Should I be concerned about having harder classes during my application cycle, or is this a dumb worry?
 
You'll be fine. It's not ideal, but schools give you enough of a heads up to inform your professors that you'll be missing time-sensitive assignments like quizzes or tests. Good luck!

You have 1-2 months notice to notify professors. All of mine were understanding were able to move exams as needed. Stay on top of your work and you should be fine.
