I have an interview with NYU on one day, but I just found out that I got one from Pittsburgh, and I could coincidentally schedule it the day before. Doable? Im in Cali right now, so it makes sense for the $
 
I'd say its doable. The NYU interview will be from 8am-3pm ish so if you can find a way to get to pitt before it gets too insanely late, you can still prep for pitt and get a good nights sleep.

OR

if money isn't an issue and you feel like you need a lot of rest/mental preperation before an interview, I say don't risk it and schedule it some other time.

I think so, if it'll save money go for it! I have one Thursday at Buffalo then Friday in Florida so I guess I can let you know from experience after that 🙂 I see some people on here with 3 in a row and it seems like they've managed though.

I did that for my Penn and Michigan interviews. I am from Seattle so it would have been expensive for me to fly out two times. It is doable. I was done with Penn interview at 2pm. My flight to Detroit was at 5:45pm same day. got to Detroit at 7:30pm or something. Was totally fine. Pittsburgh and NY are even closer to each other I think than Detroit and Philadelphia.
just plan all your transportation and hotel stuff well.
 
Something to keep in mind: including the connection your flight will be around 7 hours long from California. Also you are going to lose 4 hours of the day.

Be careful if you are the type who cannot sleep on the plane and have a strict bedtime. Otherwise you will be up till 2:00am (10:00pm for you).
 
I live in Cali too, I had Buffalo on sep 24th and Columbia on sep 25th.
it is doable but hectic !!!!
