I have a few interviews right now, but still waiting on two schools (my top 2 choices incidentally). My interview sched is PACKED for the next month and those two schools don't offer what dates they interview on. I'm thinking I should call their office and ask about their interview dates so I can plan out my interview schedule better.
My question is, if their date happens to fall on another school's date that I already confirmed, what should I do? I feel it's bad etiquette to cancel once I confirmed, because science is a small world and rubbing them the wrong way now...well...I'd like not to. Plus it reflects poorly on my ability to plan.
On the other hand...this is a one time thing and a chance to interview with my dream school is important. BUT on the other OTHER hand I may not even get an interview from that school/accepted. Tough choices... I also don't think saying no to interviews is wise when I have 0 acceptances because you never know. Same goes for turning down interviews...I read some past threads about people doing that and it seems crazy especially how hard it is to get an interview in the first place. I am running scenarios in my head but feel like I'm going in circles so I'd appreciate some input guys...thanks. WWYD?
