Should I decline Interview?

[goatmed]

Need your interview advice, SDN!

TTUHSC El Paso just sent me an invite. Nonetheless, it's Thursday and it'd make me miss a lab and a lecture which would be a huge inconvenience as I'm fighting to keep the class as an A. I also have 5 other interview invitations from TMDSAS schools and one from BCM, which puts this school at 6th place in my interviewed-choice-ranking (out of 7.) I'm also a bit worn from interviewing weekends, I have to drive to Lubbock (the TX "panhandle") on Thursday and McAllen (southern tip of TX) on Friday after interviewing and then to Dallas next week (already drove to Houston, Galveston, and San Antonio on previous weekends).

Would a polite decline be too overconfident of me?
I'm a LizzyM of 74, Hispanic TX resident (immigrant) with not-special EC stats (340h shadowing, 242h clinical volunteering, 65h non-clinical and 65h research).

Thanks in advance!

It is better not to decline an interview until you have one acceptance somewhere. Perhaps you could reschedule it for a later date.

it's true that you shouldn't decline an interview; I'm from texas too, I would attempt to reschedule until after pre acceptances have been hand out

Y'all sound right, I will try to schedule. But, I'm only being offered the 19th and 26th of this month by the application portal. Is it something I can ask the adcom about, or would inquiring about different dates give off lack of interest?

Thanks for the advice again, by the way.
