Yeah... So I'm planning my classes for next term, and it looks like I might have classes Monday-Friday. -_- Of course, this gets in the way of my (hypothetical) interviews.

Do interviews generally take place on a certain day of the week? Or do they take place on all days? It would be helpful to know while I pick out classes for this term.
 
A weekday. Any weekday. Especially ones toward the middle of the week.
 
I was able to schedule most on Fridays or Mondays to not miss crazy amounts of work. I found there to be pretty wide variation in how accommodating different schools were with scheduling. Some just say "see you at 8am on day X."

Varies heavily from school to school. I have 5 II right now, two Wed, a Thurs, a Mon and a Fri. The good news is most schools let you pick from a set of dates. One school just told me when my interview was with an email that basically said "If you can't make it, deal with it."

I purposely took classes to have Friday off this semester, and so far that has only been a little helpful. Don't plan on being able to control that much, but don't stress either. Most of my professors are cool with me missing time for interviews, yours probably will be too.

tl;dr take the classes you want/need and let the chips fall where they may.
 
As long as you are vigilant about notifying professors (which you hopefully will - few IIs pop up with short notice for the interview), they will be accomodating. Just don't be that person who offhandedly tells them the day before.
