Once you have the interview...

Is there any harm in pushing back to a more convenient date?

As far as I can tell, the answer to that is no as long as you have a legitimate reason. Today i moved my Northwestern interview because it was during finals week, and they didn't have a problem with it.

Thank you.

Mine is during the last week of class. I could make it, but after finals would be much better...

Not at all. Only the administrators deal with those type of things not the people who are interviewing you.

Hmm, what about schools that have rolling admissions? I asked this when rescheduling with Northwestern (which apparently does admit on a rolling basis) and was told that yes, it's "a little better" to interview earlier. I wasn't sure what to make of that, but I had to reschedule anyway so..
