I hope this hasnt been posted too much...

I was offered an interview for Tufts, and I have a few dates to pick from. The later one works better for my schedule.

Does it matter if you set a later interview date rather than a earlier one (i am talking about a week later)?
Does it reduce your chances of being accepted?

Thanks for your help!

I don't think it matters, really. Tufts releases decisions in batches, so I assume everyone who interviews within one week is notified at the same time.

I thought it matters, so I scheduled in Feb 20th although the best day for me is Feb 25th. I have my cell bio exam in Feb 22th. That's why I wanted to do it later, but I was afraid if it is going to decrease my chance to get in since this is kinda late interview.

I would call and ask. Just ask them straight out if the admissions committee reviews a batch of interviews at a time and if the two days you are looking at are in the same batch. I went on two interviews where they reviewed in batches but I went on one where they reviewed and sent letters just a few days later.
