Interview days: Which days are common: MTuWThF?

[premed888]

Hey,
I have a question about which Interview days are most common for med schools? I know that the obvious days that many med schools designate are Friday and Saturday. However, I was wondering how common it was for med schools to request for interviews on a Monday or Thursday. I am trying to schedule classes for next Spring and was trying to not miss so many classes. Thanks.

Days that end with 'y' are frequent interview days...

Saturday is actually an uncommon interview day. Many schools are M-F. If you want to know about a particular school, just call and ask them. I called each school listed below and asked them. A couple just had machines. And, in the spirit of UCLA, R=Thursday.

Definitely not just a UCLA thing. They use R for Thurs on course schedules here too.
