Question - What is the best way to group your interviews? If you have one in Chicago on 9/17 and in Florida on 9/18 and then one again in Milwaukee on 9/20 ... Can we wait a few days before we respond so we can try to group them ... If not, you will be bouncing all over the US and spending $$$$$ on airfare.

Thanks!

FM programs tend to have multiple dates... Try to schedule interviews in similar regions during the same week/two week block. How well you group them will depend on how soon you get an interview and how much availability you have for interviews.

Sign up for interviews as soon as you receive the email. Every second you delay is time the spots could fill and you will miss your chance to interview at that program.

Sadly, I agree with Mikkus. Sign up for dates as best you can. Then, when you have your full schedule, try to rearrange to minimize distant travel. Some programs offer more interviews than available slots. I don't -- I think that's ridiculous.
