Need advice for scheduling interviews

Hi everyone,
I really really need advice for scheduling interviews now. I applied to quiet a few DO schools and I have 8 interview invites now. I already scheduled the ones that are close to where I live: Western, Touro-CA, Touro-NV and AZCOM (in Oct and early Nov), and I need to schedule for KCOM, KCUMB, and 2 LECOM. The initial dates that KCUMB and LECOMs gave me conflict with my other interview dates. I haven't called them and rescheduled the dates yet. I'm still in school and I can't miss too many days of classes in a quarter system, and also because of financial reason, I don't have the money to travel too frequently. So I want to schedule them sometime in Dec after I finish my finals. Will these schools think I'm not interested in their programs? Since I don't know which one I will be accepted, I really don't want to decline any interview offers. And is Dec considered late to interview at these schools? Please give me some advice and I would really really appreciate it!! Thanks~

They don't think you are not interested just because you move the dates back.

Do a little research on the schools to possibly narrow them down. Ideally you want to be able to attend all your interviews, but if it's not possibly financially or due to time then you'll have to be decisive.

December is not too late for interviews. Medical schools understand that there are scheduling constraints while you're enrolled in school. Best of luck.
