Question about December 1 Decision

So I was recently invited to interview at three of my top choices but they all conflict with each other. I have one school scheduled on 11/15, another school that was scheduled on 11/21 except I moved that to 12/13 because my top choice recently gave me the option to interview either on 11/15 or 11/22. The school that I moved to 12/13 is my least favorite of the three (though it's still a top choice for me).

I guess my question boils down to how much of a difference it makes to have a interview pre-December vs. post-December. I know that schools generally send out their acceptances around Dec 1, so obviously having an earlier interview would be better.

But, how much of a difference will it make. The other option is to have back to back interviews, but I really hope not to go that route either...

dilemma..

Did you already change the interview date? And is there a traveling conflict preventing you from making to both?I would advise back to back interviews. As you said, having the pre-Dec interview would give you an earlier review and possible acceptance. It may or may not have an impact, depending upon the school in question. However, if you have moved it already it doesn't make much of a difference
